🧬 How many plasmids can a single bacterium carry? That’s the question Cholpisit Kiattisewee explores in his review on multi-plasmid systems and their impact on #SynBio. And yes, #SEVA is part of the debate 👀 👉 Read the full article: doi.org/10.1098/rsob...

‼️We are hiring!! 📣 Please share widely! This is a similar position (fully funded) to the one I advertised about a year ago, but the project is progressing. Very exciting times to join the group! Description and instructions below 👇🏻

A big well done to Nauh’a et Antonio of my lab that were in this cohort! Very proud of their work during the summer! Excellent job 😀

And Ecoli is pretty in pink, ain’t it?!? ❤️ Expressing fluo proteins is fun 😎

New toy 🤩 for the #Quaglialab #TECANSpark #PlateReader

Today we celebrated the interns and we said goodbye to Youness with 🍕 🍕😎 @chimieuqam.bsky.social #QuagliaLab #summer #academia #biocat #enzymeeng

30 years ago scientists from JCVI, then The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), mapped the first complete genome sequence of a free-living organism, Haemophilus influenzae Rd.

End of second day of #Biotrans2025. Who’s there this week of my 🦋 crowd? If I haven’t seen you there, yet and you wanna chat, reach out! 😀

On my way to #Biotrans2025 with a quick stop in Paris and then right on the road to Basel. First time I attended this conference I was doing my PhD. Now I represent my own lab 😎! Come say ‘hi’ at poster P215!

So nice to catch up!! 😍 See you soon in Switzerland 🇨🇭!!

Excellent poster section for the Quaglia lab today at #PROTEO 😎! Bravo à mes étudiants.es! 👏🏻

Merci à tous ceux qui ont participé au colloque2025, qui a été un grand succès 🤩 Et un super grand merci à nos étudiants.es qui ont organisé tout l'événement et présenté leurs beaux projets ! À l'année prochaine !

Blog post from yours truly 🙃 Read to know more about the symposium, a recurring event that brings so much to so many! Rdv tomorrow and on Wednesday: don't forget! Coffee and small treats available during the poster section 😀

Last post of the week and last post of the series of nine! Keep following us, as there will be one very last article from yours truly next week just before the symposium! 😀

New blog alert! Do not miss it: only a couple left to read before the day of the symposium! 🤩(colloquechimiebiochimie.uqam.ca)

Last week of blogging for my excellent students! Here is a very interesting article about bacteriophages and their use as an alternative to antibiotics. Just a click away :) 👇

Blog alert! Last of the week, but not last of our series :) Enjoy!

We resuspended a few plasmids 🧬 yesterday 😁 So looking fwd to expressing and testing these putative #plasticdegrading enzymes 😍

Imagine you're a plasmid just chilling in the same host for 200 years and then some scientist comes to extract you and transform you into a random other strain because they need to express GFP or some shit www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New blog from my students! And remember to visit the website of our symposium, too! We are looking forward to seeing you there on the 15th and 16th of April, salle CB-R450 pavillon Chimie Biochimie and posters at the Cafétéria of PK pavillon! Come see our work and visit our sponsors!

Next blog in the series talks about ribosomes. Learn something more about these beautiful cellular machines thanks to the piece by Frédérique. And don't forget: the chem/biochem symposium of @chimieuqam.bsky.social is fast approaching!! reach out for further info!

Another excellent blog post from my students. Today it is about ribosomophaties: when the ribosome is not working as it should. Read below! 👇

Read the second blog post from the master students of my #scicomms class @uqam.ca , this time prepared by Frédérique Bérubé @frederiqueb.bsky.social of the lab of Prof. Steve Bourgault - did you know that a link exists between Alzheimer and diabetes? check it out! 👇

First article by Carolane from the lab of Prof. Annabi Borhane! Did you know that obesity is linked to cancer? Read below 👇🏻

We prepared these blogs with my students of class CHI7200 and they go hand in hand with the annual symposium of chemistry to be held on the 14th/15th of April. Enjoy and learn more abt the themes of the research in our department @chimieuqam.bsky.social

With all these lies being openly shared from the Trump admin, I am starting to wonder, when the world will come back to its senses, how hard will it be to go back and fact check everything? How do we sort the truth from the lie. Above all when so much proof will have been erased.

It was atrocious, disheartening and shameful. Kudos for being able to lie through the whole speech without blinking, though. Are we in 2025? Hard to believe

1/10 A 🧵of resources to learn about AlphaFold (2 and 3). IMO, the best way to get started with AF2 is "AlphaFold. A practical guide" from the EMBL-EBI. It explains how AF2 works in plain English, without code, and covers key metrics like pLDDT/PAE/etc. www.ebi.ac.uk/training/onl...

Unfortunately, we are all forced to continue to read it, and it will be part of actual history books.

Great opportunity - don’t miss it! 👇🏻

When you had no time to submit the abstracts for the conference you were invited to, but you still have one day left... Or you *thought* you had one day, but now you are wondering if ‘deadline on the 30th’ means midnight of he 29th and so you make sure you submit 1 min before potential deadline 😩😅👌🏻
