After five years I finally defended my PhD! Turns out bacteriophages aren't the only ones who can thrive under selective pressure! 😎🦠 Thanks to everyone on my journey for their neverending support!

[Célia Pas @CliaPas1]

My first publication 🤩 Thank you @BriersYves, @LarsFieseler and everyone in our lab for the great support 😊!!

About the wonderful #phage #tailspike #modularity and #horizontalgenetransfer across E. coli phages. Happy about the publication of our latest work by @CliaPas1 @LarsFieseler and Agnieszka Lata https://t.co/Adt8dGlrpt #Virologyjournal

Great thanks to the #ViBioM2022 team for this weeks conference!! I am so honored to get the Best Poster Award 😊

[European Virus Bioinformatics Center @EVirusBioinfC]

We are very happy to close #ViBioM2022 by announcing the Best ECR Talk Award which goes to @SpyrosLytras and three Best Poster Awards that go to @nishimura_luca, @CliaPas1, and @gabriellovate 🎉👏🥳🍾

Fun plaque phenotype!!! If you've seen this before can you point me to a reference? #phage

[Célia Pas @CliaPas1]

@dbikard @EvelienAdri I have an E. coli #phage with a similar morphology, might this be a sign of LPS (O-antigen) degradation?

[Célia Pas @CliaPas1]

@DrewMack90 Hi Drew! My proteins are between 800 and 1300 amino acids. I found segmentation in smaller parts gave inaccurate results for the trimeric structure with alphafold.

[Célia Pas @CliaPas1]

Does anyone here know if there are programs similar to #Alphafold-multimer structure prediction? As the #tailfiber #protein of #phage are so large, I don't seem to find an ideal tool to visualize it's complete homo-trimeric structure (I already have the tertiary structure).

[Célia Pas @CliaPas1]

@dimiboeckaerts Actually to predict the homo-trimeric structure

@ContamClub @JoeSteventon2 This beauty must be family too!

Hi everyone,
With my masterthesis about antibiotic resistance, I am selected to win a public price of ie-net organisation. You can help me by clicking on the video (https://t.co/rQV8u5ilXr) and give it a thumbs up! :)

What a great #WorldPhageDay! Please watch and share our video to create awareness around #antibioticresistance and #Phage #therapy. Special thanks to Richard Vis for sharing his story with us!

[Yves Briers @BriersYves]

Happy #WorldPhageDay start of the #WorldPhageWeek! Watch this catchy testimonial about #phage #therapy recorded by our L.A.B. members @CliaPas1 @dimiboeckaerts #antibioticresistance #AMR @FWOVlaanderen @FbwUGent @ugent

Pleased to share our brand new L.A.B logo showing what we love to do #syntheticbiology #modularproteins #phage #lysin #cazy engineering. Impressed by the creativity of @CliaPas1 and @emmacremelie

[Bjorn Criel @bjorncriel]

I'm happy and proud to share PhaLP with the world: a database of phage lytic proteins (https://t.co/Tjzl4Mcj90). PhaLP provides the enzybiotics community with a central data hub to explore the rich diversity of natural phage lytic proteins and find new enzybiotic candidates.

[Célia Pas @CliaPas1]

Many thanks to all 645 participants of our Flemish 'Bacteriophage & alternatives' survey. The lucky few who won their own personalized 3D printed #phage are (as you can see) very proud!!

[Célia Pas @CliaPas1]

@ReefViruses @phagedirectory Yes no problem! Here is also the background-free version if you want.

#phage cocktails on me today 🍸

Sidenote: Don't worry, the plants are safe. This tiny army of phages can only kill bacteria!
