We're recruiting! I'm looking for a PhD student and a PostDoc. If decoding how bacteria "remember" and respond to their environment sounds exciting to you, get in touch.

Please share with anyone who might be interested!

We study how intracellular bacterial pathogens adapt and survive inside host cells, combining single-cell genomics, spatial transcriptomics, and CRISPR-based molecular recording.

🌊Paper announcement! 📣
Viral infections rewire the metabolic makeup of their host and thereby create distinct chemical signatures. Can we use metabolic biomarkers to diagnose infections of algal blooms in the ocean?
Well, take a look at our new article led by Conny Kuhlisch in @pnas.org

Thrilled to announce that I’ve just opened my research lab at @helmholtz-hiri.bsky.social !
A huge thank you to my mentor Roi Avraham (and lab members!) for the incredible training and support that made this possible.

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli invade luminal prostate cells via FimH–PPAP receptor binding - Nature Microbiology Uropathogenic Escherichia coli infection of a murine prostate organoid model reveals a bacterial FimH–host prostatic acid phosphatase adhesin-receptor interaction enabling invasion and replication wit...

Our first paper is out today in @natmicrobiol.nature.com!

We introduce a prostate organoid model and show that UPEC invades prostate cells via FimH binding to the prostate-specific protein PAPP. A step toward targeted therapies against bacterial prostatitis. 🎉

Intramacrophage RIL-seq uncovers an RNA antagonist of the Salmonella virulence-associated small RNA PinT Abstract. Salmonella virulence chiefly relies upon two major pathogenicity islands, SPI-1 and SPI-2, which enable host cell invasion and intracellular surv

RIL-seq boosts the study of sRNAs. Here comes its first application to intracellular bacteria. Plus, 10 years after its characterization, we now present an RNA sponge of Salmonella PinT.

Decoding cnidarian cell type gene regulation - Nature Ecology & Evolution This study reconstructs the gene regulatory networks that define cell types in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis, providing a valuable resource for comparative regulatory genomics and the evoluti...

Excited to share the final version of our study on Nematostella cell type regulatory programs. Part of our @erc.europa.eu StG project, this was a challenging 5-year effort extraodinarily led by @aelek.bsky.social and @martaig.bsky.social.
