On this day in 1970, a little known band named Queen performed for the first time on our campus as a group. Here's the original advert for the gig!

Phages cooperate to tackle CRISPR-Cas3 and Cas9! Exciting paper out from (brave) first student to join the lab @AdairLBorges, with key contributions from fantastic undergrad (!) Jenny Zhang, @MCFRollins (Wiedenheft lab), and Beatriz A. Osuna 🇲🇽 #bigweek tinyurl.com/y9s2lbqz. 1/2

Latest from @Fillouxlab, Tse7 is the latest #antibacterial #T6SS #effector protein from #Pseudomonas and is a DNase, published in PNASNews Well done Panayiota Pissaridou Luke Allsopp Despoina Mavridou @CMBI_Imperial Article: imperial.ac.uk/news/189108/to… News article: pnas.org/content/early/…

Happy to co-organise EMBO workshop on Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in bacteria to be held 15-17 April 2019 in Windsor nearby London, UK. Accepting registrations now! meetings.embo.org/event/19-toxin…

I am co-organizing, with Sophie Helaine, an EMBO workshop on Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in Bacteria! Covering every aspect of TA systems - structure, function, and evolution. 15-17 April 2019 outside London. Lots of speaking slots for students and postdocs... meetings.embo.org/event/19-toxin…

Unlocking the secrets of #Salmonella persistence. New work from Sophie Helaine reveals that Salmonella persisters are metabolically active & can reprogram macrophages via SPI-2 effectors to dampen #immune responses Science Magazine science.sciencemag.org/content/362/64…

Here are links to the free full-text and PDF reprint of our recent Science Signaling paper on caspase-8, p62 and nutrient-sensing versus autophagy (scroll down to Research Highlights section for the links). Julia Sanchez Garrido Vanessa Sancho-Shimizu imperial.ac.uk/people/a.sheno…

New research by Imperial Department of Medicine & Helmholtz Institute Würzburg (HIRI) unravels how bacterial persister cells manipulate our immune cells, and may help explain why some people suffer from repeated bouts of an illness ow.ly/WGBe30mTNsp

Last few days before registration deadline! #EMBOtoxin

CMBI NEWS Starting in January 2019, Julien Vaubourgeix will join the CMBI at Imperial College London to investigate the mechanisms by which Mycobacterium tuberculosis enters and exits persistence, a phenotypic state of tolerance to antimicrobials. Julien Vaubourgeix Welcome Julien

CMBI News Starting in January 2019, Alex McCarthy will join the CMBI to investigate the role of novel groups of immune receptors in the biology of neutrophils, and how bacterial pathogens exploit these receptors to evade innate immune responses. @alexjmccarthy Welcome Alex

If a deal is impossible, and no one wants no deal, then who will finally have the courage to say what the only positive solution is?

And the Van Leeuwenhoek Award goes to Daphne Stapels “Salmonella persisters undermine host immune defenses during antibiotic treatment” #ssm19

Scientists and other academics should follow this excellent example & refuse to speak on all male panels in conferences/scholarly meetings. This includes as keynote speakers or in round table discussions. A change in gender diversity has to happen quickly washingtonpost.com/health/nih-dir…

Woohoo! Helmholtz Institute Würzburg (HIRI)‘s Emmanuel Saliba and Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg‘s @DolkenL just published in nature! They were able to visualise the battle between virus and host cells at the #SingleCell level. Have a look at: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our scSLAM-seq paper is out in Nature nature! It is an amazing collaboration with Lars Doelken @DolkenL and Florian Erhard Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg with the help of Fabian Theis Fabian Theis. Thousands thanks guys! nature.com/articles/s4158… #hiri #singlecell

Preliminary program for the 2020 GRC on Microbial Stress (which I'm co-organizing with Jade Wang 王珏) is live! Should be a great conference, as always, with lots of speaking slots selected from abstracts! And a GRS will precede the GRC. Register at: grc.org/microbial-stre…

Excited to announce the 2020 Gordon Research Seminar on Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity! If you are a grad student or postdoc in microbial pathogenesis, consider attending for some terrific science in beautiful New Hampshire. Plz RT grc.org/microbial-toxi…

My first postdoc paper is out! Cholera toxin promotes pathogen acquisition of host-derived nutrients @nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

Recently online nature! There is a link between #persisters, long-term reservoirs, and the spread of #antibiotic resistance #plasmids. Check out our new #Salmonella story here: nature.com/articles/s4158…
