Postdoc @ Karolinska Institutet . 🇬🇧🛫🇺🇸🛫🇸🇪 ❤️Bacterial cell division regulation
Delighted to be able to share my work from my first postdoc in the
@krijonas.bsky.social
group at Stockholm University. With thanks to my wonderful colleagues and our fantastic collaborators! Here we show an essential role for PolyP during recovery from starvation in Caulobacter.

Excited to see our new work published! We have established the evolutionary and ecological context of our favorite model Caulobacter and made some unexpected findings. Who would have thought that close relatives lack dimorphism? And have potential for phototrophy?

GpsB interacts with FtsZ in multiple species and may serve as an accessory Z-ring anchor | Molecular Biology of the Cell
Bacterial cytokinesis commences when a tubulin-like GTPase, FtsZ, forms a Z-ring to mark the division site. Synchronized movement of Z-ring filaments and peptidoglycan synthesis along the axis of divi...

I am so happy to be here. What I loved about Twitter was learning about new science and scientific insights from the people doing it. It’s great to have a place where those conversations can take place (and be found). 🧪
