We Rivera-Fuentes Lab developed a novel far-red fluorescent probe for detecting S. aureus in pateint sample in collaboration with Vishwachi Tripathi Benedict Morin Aya Iizuka (@ayaiizuka.bsky.social 🦋) BumannLab Nina Khanna Lab NCCR AntiResist It is also blink that is suitable for SMLM. 🤩

We developed a genome-wide CRISPRi-library for S. aureus and used it to screen for antibiotic susceptibility determinants by CRISPRi-seq. Great collaboration!

Wonderful talk by our MD-PhD student Benedict Morin discussing intracellur S. aureus survival at the 2023 SSI-SSHH-SSTTM Joint meeting in the host-pathogen interaction session

Continuing in the afternoon session a great poster-flash talk by our postdoc Darya discussing stem-cell like T cell enriched EBV specific T cell therapy

Ending today with Darya receiving the 2023 SSI award for best paper in basic science for the development of a polyclonal antigen-specific T cell genome editing tool for adoptive cell transfer applications (doi.org/10.1016/j.omtm…)!

I have an opening for a PhD student working on molecular biology of bacterial biofilms. More info here: drescherlab.org/join.html

Congratulations to @luc_boeck for receiving a prestigious Cloëtta Medical Research Position, a five-year scholarship from the Prof. Dr. Max Cloëtta Foundation in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the field of chronic respiratory infections! 🎉🏆

Machine learning for microbiologists nature.com/articles/s4157… In this Review, Segata, Waldron and co discuss key concepts of machine learning that are relevant to microbiologists and provide them with a set of tools to apply machine learning in microbiology research.

We developed a method for spatiotemporal transcriptome measurements during bacterial swarm development, which revealed cross-feeding across generations! Now out: 👇 nature.com/articles/s4156…

Checkout this cool R-shiny app, BactEXTRACT, made by Julien Dénéréaz! It's very handy to plot your microtiterplate data. The app is available through veeninglab.com/bactextract. Read the preprint here: microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

Amazing out-lab activity 🤘🏼

Out now! In vitro models that mimic within patient conditions should be used to revitalize antibiotic discovery and development nature.com/articles/s4156…

Exciting breakthrough in T cell therapy! Researchers from Department of Biomedicine (Nina Khanna Lab) and University of Zurich have developed a method to enhance ACT against EBV-driven tumors using early-differentiated TSCMs. This approach shows improved tumor control and persistence. Congratulations

📢 Come and work with us in the Biozentrum, University of Basel!
