PCC Seminar (UMR168) Wednesday, June 18th 2025 11:30 am Centre de recherche - Paris Amphithéâtre Marie Curie Nicholas Taylor, Novo Nordisk Foundation Centre for Protein Research & University of Copenhagen «5:2 molecular motors: from bacterial motility to anti-phage defense»

This is such an amazing honor!!! I'm so grateful to all the people in my lab @institutpasteur.bsky.social and at Eligo Bioscience who made it possible 🙏

🎉 Congratulations to David Bikard @pasteur.fr on his 2025 @embo.org Gold Medal win! 🧬 He's pioneering phage-CRISPR tools to edit gut #bacteria in vivo, reshaping the #microbiome from within and opening the door to targeted therapies. 👉 europa.eu/!HQbHTw 👉 europa.eu/!KtWf33 @dbikard.bsky.social

For all you phage phriendly pholks out there. Consider going to PVA 2025. Its a fantastic conference. Great science with great people. #phagesky pvaconference.wixsite.com/pva2025

Congratulations to @prczhaoyansong.bsky.social for receiving a Best Poster Prize at the EMBO Workshop. His work shows that jumbo phages can help bacteria move genomic islands from one cell to another. www.evolbio.mpg.de/3816203/crac... #Microbiology #PhageBiology #GeneTransfer #EMBO2025

I grew up a Photobacterium culture for some #LuxArt. So I took a #LuxSelfie. #IlluminatedByBacterialLight @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology @microbetv.bsky.social

I couldn't agree more doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

It was fun working on this review with colleagues at my previous job: @bcressiot.bsky.social , Laura Ratinho, Nathan Meyer and Juan Pelta. Pleased it is finally out in @naturecomms.bsky.social #nanopore #biophysics #sensing www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If you see this, post something pink 🧪⚗️#chemsky

Today's advent calendar tea: Fennel, nettle and mint. A nice way to start the morning.
