Preprint alert 🚨! I present you the second and final manuscript on the BASEL phages! 36 new deeply characterized phages from viral groups that were so far mostly terra incognita - and all infect the E. coli K12 lab strain with easy tricks. 1/12 tinyurl.com/3xdt65f5

You are looking for a PostDoc position or know someone who is? We are looking for someone to join our team at ETH Zurich Zürich for a project on phage-host interactions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa 🦠🧬👇🏼

Happy to announce the release of our collaboration with the Jenal_lab! Guillaume Mas led the NMR analysis, identifying the toxin’s product and unravelling the enzymatic properties of the toxin-antitoxin system.

Big week ahead for our lab! Anna Leder presents at the 1.2 GHz inauguration in Zurich, and Guillaume Mas speaks at ENC - Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conf (5:05pm PT) in Asilomar #ENCISMAR2025. Expect groundbreaking ideas on enzymology, molecular chaperones, LLPS, & ER biology. Don’t miss it!

Check out our latest story on the cryoEM structure of the BAM holo insertase complex! Out in Science Advances (science.org/doi/full/10.11…)

Congratulations to Anna Leder receiving the Shepherd price for her PhD work at today’s Biozentrum, University of Basel symposium Biozentrum_phds . Stay tuned for the official paper release in the coming weeks.

A Day Dedicated to Science: On June 12, the Biozentrum, University of Basel community gathered for its traditional symposium. Bringing together around 300 Biozentrics, the event showcased a broad spectrum of cutting-edge research while fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration.

Great pictures!

Congratulations to PhD student Marta and NMR Facility Manager Thomas for the publication of their great work on Photo-CIDNP in JACS ! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Last day for our summer student Shreyan Datta, who has done great work during his one and a half months in our lab working on the Hsp70 functional cycle! If you are looking for a PhD student in the next few months, Shreyan Datta will be a great fit for any lab!
