Looking forward to learn and exchange with the community at the #AACR25 annual meeting in Chicago! If you are interested in how CRISPR screening can help cancer research and target discovery, you can find @vivlion.bsky.social at booth number 4505.
END nucleases: Antiphage defense systems targeting multiple hypermodified phage genomes https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03.31.646159v1
In UK, antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections in humans have INCREASED by 13% since 2018…
Despite a target to reduce them by 10%.

Mentors can’t achieve your goals for you, but they can:
-help you focus on what you want to do
-inspire you to believe in what you are capable of doing
-offer practical supports to equip you for success
And we can each do these things for someone else.
Can't wait for this new meeting on drug resistance and tolerance across species and diseases. A principle revealed in one system – maybe using different terminology – could be the big new idea when imported to another!
Abstract deadline in January!

Use it or lose it: Unless we publish papers in our society owned and published journals they will cease to be, along with all the conferences and meetings the proceeds support. Microbiology Society publishes many excellent journals, all edited by experts. #microsky www.microbiologyresearch.org
Calling all Mycobacteriologists! Please support this meeting if you can it is sorely needed and it would be a terrible shame to lose it

Delighted that our ERC Synergy grant CombaT7 has been funded! Third time we’ve interviewed so the persistence paid off
New job offer: we search a postdoc (bioinformatics) to work on mobile genetic elements and gene flow in bacteria, with a focus on antibiotic resistance within a consortium including bioinformatics, synthetic biology, epidemiology & biochemistry. See research.pasteur.fr/en/job/postd... #MicroSky
Excited to share our latest work on antibiotic persistence ! We found that while bacteria intoxicated by host RNS are shielded from β-lactams, they still remain vulnerable to fluoroquinolones. Why? Check our new study : journals.plos.org/plospathogen...
“For every $1 spent on TB, you get $40 back by 2050. This is one of the best investments we can make — not only in terms of global health and global health security, but also from an economic perspective." www.devex.com/news/sponsor...
My colleagues at University of Dundee have been improving on targeted protein degradation methods for.undruggable targets. Recent one is intramolecular bivalent glue (IBG).
Congratulations to Alessio Ciulli and his team!
