Well done @PietroRidone UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences with an early morning talk on our recent attempts to make 'Frankenstein' chimeras of the engine behind bacterial swimming - the stator complex of the flagellar motor. Nice videos! Biomolecular Horizons 2024 #BMH2024 Read more here: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb…

In our defense we study swimming, not jumping. Happy UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences lab photo Biomolecular Horizons 2024 - our first #squad conference all together since 2021! #bmh2024

Appreciative of highlight by Mike Manson Texas A&M University of our recent hybrid stator work in JBacteriology Eds. Enjoyed sharing a quality tequila BLAST Meetings 2015 w/ Mike in AZ and honoured by his enthusiasm in this accessible commentary. Thanks!

Nice explainer of our recent UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences work to cobble together hybrid motors for baxterial swimming. Also great to chat to New Scientist! newscientist.com/article/245232…

"Rescue of bacterial motility using two and three-species FliC chimeras" In this pre-print out we studied the effect of flagellin (FliC) outer domain chimeras on bacterial motility. UNSW Science UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Bowling 🎳 w/ UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences and our lab for end of year 🎉🍕🍻. Fun bowl-off which our lab lost. Eerie to be inside in the dark then exit after a few VBs to blazing ☀️🌞 32C. Shout out to HoS Shane Grey & School Mgr Michael Bowen leading us on and off the lanes. #buckhunter also.

2nd ever Eleni Giannoulatou Matt Baker double header, today Peking University. Hosted by Department of Physics at University of Oxford PhD colleague Prof Bai Fan it was great to represent UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences UNSW Science & Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute UNSW Medicine & Health w/ #flagellar & #SCAD research. Shoutout LEGO for childcare assist.

Can bacteria swim with hybrid motors?🦠#HFSPAwardee Matt Baker and team engineered bacterial flagellar motors using parts from different systems, testing 14 designs-only 1 worked! 🚀 Discover how this breakthrough sheds light on #bionanotech: bit.ly/4iZJyfM

It is an honour to have been awarded the FEMS Microbiology Reviews outstanding poster award at the #blastmeeting2025! Thank you to the judges and all those who came to my poster and talked all things flagellin! FEMS UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences UNSW Science BLAST Meetings

Nice UNSW Science write up of our recent The ISME Journal paper. En route to #HFSP HFSP 24th awardee meeting in Melbourne to talk about this and other work and meet up with the wider team. More soon! unsw.edu.au/news/2025/06/b…
