It's official, PhD in Biotechnology! Big thanks to my committee and my entire group for this special day! 🦠🙌🏽

Conservation and similarity of bacterial and eukaryotic innate immunity rdcu.be/dzS7a Aaron Whiteley and @hannahledvina review the similarities between eukaryotic and bacterial innate immunity, exploring conserved components, signalling and restriction mechanisms.

Proud to have contributed to this work lead by Jakob T Rostøl, Nuria Quiles and José R Penadés. We demonstrated how noncontiguous operons serve as a strategy to balance immunity and autoimmunity in different prophages. Read the paper for details! nature.com/articles/s4156…

What a great work! Big congrats to all the team! 🙌🏽🎊

We're hiring! Our interdisciplinary group at the Centre for Bacterial Resistance Biology (CBRB), Imperial College London, has an opening for a position. If you’re passionate about science and eager to contribute to groundbreaking research, apply now and join our team!

The gut microbiome drives the aberrant immune response observed in IBD patients. Scientists from Harvard Medical School discovered hundreds of lineages adapted to inflammatory conditions & predictive of disease severity via Cell Host & Microbe: cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Excited to share our work published in Science Magazine today answering the question: “Where does Cas13 come from?” science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Better late than never... Many thanks to all the organizers for the invitation to this symposium to talk about microbiota and healthy aging! #XCIISE 🦠

So cool! 👏🏼😯

Great article! Big congrats to the authors! 🙌🏽 It seems that noncontiguos operons play a key role in regulating the expression of antiphage defense systems. A highly efficient strategy, indeed!

For the past two years, we have been working on a novel approach to identify origins of transfer by conjugation in plasmids from any bacterial species. We are thrilled to see this work now published in Nature Microbiology after thorough peer review! nature.com/articles/s4156…

It's always a pleasure to be back at #XXXCongresoSEM to meet up with old friends and meet new colleagues! I had the pleasure to present the work we are doing at IMDEA Nutrición, studying the changes that occur in the Microbiota during aging. #microbiome #aging 🧫🔬
