So glad to see this out! It was definitely a labor of love, but it has become my new blueprint of how I think about AMR evolution. We aimed to highlight how much we've learnt as a field, and especially, how much we still *don't* know 1/4

We are hiring! 1 PhD position available within our newly-funded European Research Council (ERC) project #PHAGEPRO Universität München. We are looking for a candidate with a strong background in bioinformatics! ChatGPT-generated applications will not be considered. Watch👇to learn more about the project

Meet The Shielded Plasmid🛡️🧬 Our new nature paper reveals how plasmids outsmart bacterial defenses during conjugation. It's all about being in the right place at the right time! The positioning of anti-defense genes boosts transfer efficiency🧵(1/7) nature.com/articles/s4158…

1/8. 𝐧𝐜𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐬 often fly under the radar... but they're vital in bacteria-phage conflicts & beyond. Curious 𝙬𝙝𝙮!? 🤔 Here, we dive into their immune roles, plasticity, and discuss their hidden potential! 🧬🚀 🔗:cell.com/trends/microbi…

Should I stay or should I go? 🎶 In a new opinion piece, Claudia Igler, Andrina Bernhard and I discuss how conjugative plasmids and temperate bacteriophages balance vertical and horizontal transmission: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vie… Our framework illuminates many sides of MGE biology (1/7)

Fantastic PhD Opportunity on plasmid-phage interactions in Manchester with Claudia Igler and Mike Brockhurst👇also: the time in Germany would be spent in my lab

For the past two years, we have been working on a novel approach to identify origins of transfer by conjugation in plasmids from any bacterial species. We are thrilled to see this work now published in Nature Microbiology after thorough peer review! nature.com/articles/s4156…

The honor of being a 'Pasteurian' does not pay rent, certainly not in Paris… Fingers crossed for today's negotiations with Institut Pasteur, since 1887
