We’re looking for curious, innovative science leaders at EMBL Heidelberg! 🔬🧬🦠 Join a vibrant, interdisciplinary community where collaboration and innovation are nurtured at all levels. Take a look at these four open positions 👇

The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria blocks many antibiotics. Our latest work reveals that L-type pyocins bypass this barrier by inactivating the BAM complex, killing Pseudomonas aeruginosa without entering the cell, providing a new blueprint for beating antibiotic resistance.

I like a town where you can go to Woolworths to pick a few things, then photograph a Platypus from the other side of the car park. Five stars. #wildoz

Imagine telling the ancients, “in the 20th century we figured out a way to convince sand and metal to do mathematical computations that no human could ever complete. In the 21st century, we decided to give up on math, and convinced sand and metal to cast pretend spells instead."

Very grateful for the opportunity and excited about the findings. We got the phages with unique armour: long Shelf-life even after multiple freeze-thawing for 12 months.

Because of the forces they have to withstand being whizzed around on #flagellae, flagellotropic #phages are super stable. It turns out that the same super-stability remains long after you adapt to a host bacterium without a #flagellum rdcu.be/ewnzT
