So happy to have our paper describing 21 new defense systems out 🥳 Cool bonus since the preprint - enzymatic activity of the SEFIR domain!

[Sorek Lab @SorekLab]

Out today @cellhostmicrobe: An expanded arsenal of bacterial immune systems

Even if you previously read the preprint, don’t miss a major new result on the bacterial SEFIR domain, a homolog of human immune domains

@zilberzwige Good luck Shai!

[Shai Zilberzwige-Tal @zilberzwige]

Happy to share that I’m opening my lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science!
We’ll study systems-level regulation of bacterial defense, driven by RNA-protein interactions shaping cell fate.
Now recruiting PhD students & postdocs

Please reach out and share!

RNA-guided systems span kingdoms, from bacterial immunity to eukaryotic gene regulation. How did they evolve? We traced the origins of CRISPR-Cas13 and identified its likely ancestor: an RNA-based toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Here’s what we uncovered:

We are looking for a lab manager to join our team!

[Sorek Lab @SorekLab]

Fancy a postdoc in Munich? For a collaborative project between @SorekLab and @hornung_lab on antiviral innate immunity, we are looking for exceptional candidates with skills in immunology / biochemistry / computational biology. More details here:

Join us in Paris on April 8th-10th for the 2025 Symposium on the Immune System of Bacteria 🥖🍷🦠🧬.

Excited to welcome these amazing speakers at @institutpasteur .

Registration will open beginning of November. Abstract deadline February 28. Stay tuned.

[Tanita Wein @TanaWein]

Thrilled to announce the Rothschild Symposium on phage-bacteria interactions in honor of @SorekLab! Join us for inspiring talks by @AudeBer, @ARDavidson_UofT, @AvigdorEldar, and @BejaLab. Plus, we're awarding 3 PhD prizes for exceptional research in the field. Don't miss it!🤩

[Adi Millman @AdiMillman]

@TanaWein Congrats Tana! 🤩

[Adi Millman @AdiMillman]

@Jens_Hoer @Nature Congrats Jens!

[Jens Hör @Jens_Hoer]

Thrilled to share the final version of my postdoc project, out today in @Nature!

We investigated the Bil system – a ubiquitin-like antiphage defense system – and discovered a new defense mechanism!

[Aude Bernheim @AudeBer]

It has recently been described that bacteria and eukaryotes share some part of their immune systems. But what do they share exactly? How did this evolve?

We propose the concept of ancestral immunity to explore this emerging topic.
Some answers but mostly questions 🙃.

[Adi Millman @AdiMillman]

@ShmidovE Congrats and good luck! 🥳

[Silvi Rouskin @silvirouskin]

ATTENTION! We are hosting an ML/AI workshop for college students and will sponsor the travel of three out of state participants and support up to 80 online. APPLY NOW if you’re interested. We have very special guests from AlphaFold (surprise). Please RT! https://t.co/h55cMaq9MD

[Aude Bernheim @AudeBer]

Bacteria produce chemical compounds that humans harness as drugs (ex antibiotic).
We hypothesize that a major biological role of these compounds have been overlooked: antiviral defense.

New preprint alert!🚀
Excited to share our latest preprint, where we discover a vast arsenal of phage anti-defense proteins using an interpretable machine-learning approach. Big thanks to @MartinPolz, @ShaulPollak, Mariusz Ferenc, and all collaborators!
