Now recruiting: enthusiastic postdocs to use advanced imaging methods to dissect biological processes. My group at Harvard has 2 Wellcome-funded positions examining the underlying mechanisms and resultant forces driving bacterial growth, division, and antimicrobial resistance.

Organ agar—made by mixing mouse organ homogenates with molten agar—serves as a physiologically relevant alternative for in vivo bacterial colonization, allowing for screening of mutant libraries while avoiding physiological bottlenecks.

📢 I'm thrilled to announce this pre-print! 🥳

Ever since the debate on a possible bacterial origin of innate immune mechanisms gained traction, I've been wondering: What role do Archaea play in it? 🧵

A new paper from our lab is out today after peer review: https://t.co/0ajuD1FrxV

[Souvik Bhattacharyya @necrosignaling]

Delighted to share our new preprint.

It started with a weird observation, only made possible due to my ‘error’ while following a simple protocol.

>10,000 swarm plates later, we show that intracellular iron can act as memory in E. coli.
