Day two of 34th ECA - European Congress of Arachnology (2024). My team is still on 🔥 talking 🕷️🦂 #venoms! Today it was my brilliant PhD student Ludwig Dersch who presented his exciting work on antimicrobial 🕷️ peptides and their bioengineering.

Hey fellow venom ECRs, At the last IST conference in Singapore, a major topic was the need to establish a better networking platform form the next generation of toxinologist. As such (with some delay) I have set up a dedicated X community for us, where we can exchange on all

🐍⚠️Bitten by a snake?⚠️🐍 We are still looking for new bites of various snakes, like the #Hognose and others. Even if you had no symptoms, it would help us to get a better overview about snakebite envenomation! Please share the survey (🇬🇧🇪🇸🇩🇪)

Newest paper from the lab, the first dissertation chapter of my amazing PhD student Lennart Schulte and the first outcome of my DFG public | @[email protected] grant „FunVen“ published in The Royal Society Open Science. Fully black (i.e. melanistic) adders are in Central European folklore referred to as

Hey all - slowly but steadily, this community is growing, which is great! However, I think that there are plenty of toxinology young scientists that are not yet here. It would be great, if you could spread this network in your bubble so that we can have as many of us here as

My newest paper is out! 🎉🎉 #venom #enzymes #venomics. Spider venom enzymes, overlooked compounds which carry immense value for the bio economy!

Newest lab paper out in npj Biodiversity spearheaded by my stellar PhD student Josephine Dresler looking into the neglected realm of 🕷️ #venom #enzymes. When you look into 🕷️📖, you will read that their venoms are mostly composed by neurotoxins and that enzymatic compounds are rare.

📄 New Publication by our Animal Venomics Lab! Josephine Dresler et al. enlightened the toxinological dark matter of #spider #venom by the first systematic and comprehensive analysis of its #enzyme diversity. 🔓#OpenAccess Dresler et al. 2024 - doi.org/10.1038/s44185…

A LOEWE Centre Translational Biodiversity Genomics team around Dr. Tim Lüddecke & Josephine Dresler Josephine Dresler discovered a large diversity of #enzymes in spider #venom 🕷️. They could be of great value for bioeconomic applications. Publ. in npj Biodiversity: doi.org/10.1038/s44185… Press release: sgn.one/00k

This study reveals a hidden diversity of spider #venom enzymes, often overlooked compared to neurotoxins. There is a big gap between venom enzyme data in public databases & research. 1/4 #Biodiversity npj Journals Nature Portfolio nature.com/articles/s4418…

Many congratulations to my incredible PhD student Josephine Dresler for winning the best oral presentation award at this year’s Fraunhofer IME PhD retreat. This makes a back-to-back win for her at this event🤘😎 well deserved Josi! #proudPI LOEWE Centre Translational Biodiversity Genomics Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft ProLOEWE

Thrilled to share that the #Fraunhofer society recently released an issue of the Fraunhofer magazine which highlights all the antiinfectives research done across the different institutes. A snippet of that article features my lab’s effort to transform 🕷️🐍🦂 toxins into

A new #openaccess study by Giulia Zancolli and co. finds that some Uloboridae #spiders lack a #venom apparatus but toxins in their digestive fluids ensure prey immobilisation and digestion. bit.ly/4kP8TJZ #Evolution #Defensin
