Overpublishing puts enormous stress on students and PIs. And brings tons of money to publishers in STEM. A new study shows that the number of papers is increasing FASTER than the number of #PhD graduates. It’s an amazing work with very useful statistics. Huge kudos to the

Since its launch in 2018, 11 #PhD students out of more than 600 applicants have been accepted into the “#RNA & Infection” graduate program.🎓 #NumberOfTheMonth Want to join them & do research at the interface of RNA & infection biology? Apply by Dec 10 at helmholtz-hiri.de/en/jobs-talent…

Job Alerts, thrilled to announce that I will join NUS in Singapore in July 2024! 2 Postdoc and 4 fully-funded PhD positions available. Join me in this beautiful and vibrant place for #CRISPR and beyond research! If interested, email me or DM. Please RT!!!

Job Alert🚨. We are looking for a postdoc with a background in #virology and a research assistant / lab manager. Be part of an #ERCfunded research project and join a fantastic team working on RNA-protein interactions at the virus-host interface Goethe-Universität Universitätsmedizin Frankfurt 1/2

So excited to share that our preprint discovering KhpA/KhpB as broad RBPs in fusobacteria are now out in Nucleic Acids Res. Big thanks to my supervisor Jörg Vogel and Anke Sparmann, TeamFuso Falk Ponath , as well as all supports from Vogel Lab Helmholtz Institute Würzburg (HIRI)! academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

Happy to share our latest work, spearheaded by @prezzag in collaboration with Beisel Lab Helmholtz Institute Würzburg (HIRI) and just out PNASNews. We set up a CRISPRi system in B. thetaiotaomicron and used it to screen sRNAs for their functions. [1/5] pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Just published📯: while Salmonella-infected intestinal epithelial cells are exfoliated into the gut lumen in adults, nonprofessional efferocytosis of infected cells by neighboring enterocytes may contribute to the antibacterial host response in neonates (doi.org/10.1084/jem.20…).

An analysis of around 1,500 blood proteins has identified biomarkers that can be used to predict the risk of developing dementia up to 15 years before diagnosis go.nature.com/3UJttkK

Interested in RNA-targeting antisense technologies to manipulate and kill bacteria? Come join us in Würzburg this September -- registration is open (and free!) helmholtz-hiri.de/en/asobiotics2…

A systematic comparison of antibacterial antisense oligomers of distinct nucleotide mimics based on in vitro and in vivo methods to evaluate ASO uptake, target pairing and bacterial growth inhibition. bit.ly/4bviUra

We are organising a mini conference on the diverse applications of Antisense oligonucleotides to manipulate bacteria. Apart from a stellar line-up, Würzburg itself offers a beautiful setting. Spread the word and join us.

🚀Excited to share our latest paper, where we explore dynamic changes in mtDNA heteroplasmy in living cells! Discover how asymmetric partitioning and mitochondrial dynamics drive mtDNA variant segregation! 🔬embopress.org/doi/full/10.10… #Mitochondria #microscopy #microfluidics #mtDNA

We determined gene essentiality in 13 Enterobacteriaceae including E. coli, Salmonella and Klebsiella strains, and find ~1/3 of the essential genome is variable -- but! there's no evidence for genus-specific essential genes, implying rapid turnover journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

anyone else just not using google anymore? ai-powered web search is the future more focus, less ads and bs (congrats to all The Nobel Prize winners <3)

I am excited to finally share this preprint from Jörg Vogel. We've developed a reporter assay to enable high throughput discovery of carriers for ASOs into bacteria. This was a challenging and exciting journey for me, from MedChem/ChemBio into Mol/SynBio.

Now official: We have another opening for a fully funded #PhDposition in the Beusch lab (beuschlab.org) at the University of Würzburg! More details here: tinyurl.com/947xcw85 If you or someone you know is curious about #splicing please apply. #RNAbiology

Reasoning models are the future... That's why we added two more to Otio: - DeepSeek R1 distilled - OpenAI o3-mini For tasks that require some extra horsepower 🐎
