.Miriam @INFLAME_IPBS et al @IpbsToulouse address the ability of human NLRP1 #inflammasome-forming sensor to detect translation inactivation by bacterial toxins bit.ly/3qVNpUY CBI Toulouse @INSB_CNRS Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale Vaincre la Muco #SAM2025 ANR - Agence nationale de la recherche European Research Council (ERC)

So happy to have worked with my wonderful colleague Kim Samirah ROBINSON on this paper about diphtheria and NLRP1~

SO HAPPY FOR YOU KIM!!!

The FLZ lab annual Christmas 🎄 party starts off with dinner with the boss! And yes, as his favourite students, we are tattooing his face on us! (don't worry it's not permanent 😉)

Another project published! My favourite colleague Pritisha showed how nigericin and K+ efflux, traditionally activating NLRP3, activates NLRP1 in epithelial cells! Thanks to our collaborators Kim Samirah ROBINSON @INFLAME_IPBS @BekkerJensenLab doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Our laboratory is hiring at the Postdoc or RA level! If Innate Immunology and Autoinflammatory Disease are of interest to you consider to join us Hudson Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne Australia! seek.com.au/job/77002348 seek.com.au/job/77007854

The first paper from the Chen lab is out! Congrats See Jie Yow on dissecting the cell type-specific requirements for Yersinia-induced pyroptosis in neutrophils and macrophages! rdcu.be/dMNeZ

New science awaits! ✨ We are excited to introduce you to our brand-new 2025 EMBL Annual Poster ➡️ embl.org/about/info/cou… In 2025, you can look forward to novel meetings such as the EMBO | EMBO Symposium 'Mechanisms of drug resistance and tolerance in bacteria, fungi, and

This is a fantastic PhD program! We’re recruiting up to 2 PhD students in the upcoming round. Make sure to apply here 👇

A fun get-together with another EMBO investigator Prof Xia Yun and her lab! Even though we work on very different fields(kidney organoids vs innate immunity), we learnt so much from each other, and had so much fun! Looking forward to our next EMBO lab retreat!
