Coorganiser Fred Allain opening our joint symposium with RNAmed (https://t.co/QU0sXPPROH) in Sankt Moritz, Switzerland. Looking forward to four days of a lot of RNA research in the middle of snow and mountains.
Available Postdoc position in my lab to advance ASO technology for biotechnology, food production, infectious diseases, environmental microbiology & more. Looking for specialists in these areas with an interest in RNA applications. Involves numerous international collaborations.
Looking for a POSTDOC to work on jumbo phages (those with large genomes and fascinating cell biology), using our latest ASO technology (Gerovac M et al. 2025 Nature) to define RNA export mechanisms as well as to help advance phage therapy. Here's the job ad.
Very honoured to have received the Maximilian Order for Sciene and Art, the highest distinction of the Free State of Bavaria. It’s also special in being restricted to 100 living scientists or artists, with an impressive list of past recipients. More at https://t.co/aLwVYY86RN
Attending a VIB conference on biotechnology in Leuven, Belgium. Beautiful place. And what’s particularly helpful is their pointing out the best beer bars in town right in their welcome remarks.
Use antisense oligomers (ASOs) to silence phage genes and discover new biology. @JoergLab, @Helmholtz_HIRI@Helmholtz_HZI@Uni_WUE in print:

Nature Research Briefings are a really cool idea. Here's one describing our antimicrobial ASO technology to study phages, to appear in this week's print version of Nature. Gives a bit of background how we got there.

Two group leader positions available in the broader areas of RNA science, RNA technologies, and RNA medicine. Attractive packages and a great environment. Come and join us at Helmholtz RNA Würzburg, Bavaria.
No Genetics? Try ASOs – A non-genetic approach to silence genes at the phage-host interface. We use it to study jumbo phage biology and anti-phage defence. @Joerglab@Helmholtz_HIRI@Uni_WUE@Helmholtz_HZI published now in @Nature

Looking for a new approach to studying or eliminating phages? Check out our study introducing anti-phage ASOs (antisense oligos) out in @Nature today. https://t.co/9CL7Sb1YzX
Apply now, spread the word: three (3) fully funded Helmholtz research groups (assistant prof level) with attractive packages. Topics: RNA-based medicine, microbial RNA, and RNA-based infection research incl. RNA technologies. Great environment for young people. Come and join us.
This is an important step in unraveling the path of antisense antibiotics (asobiotics) across the complex envelope of gram- bacteria and on to finding their mRNA targets. I hope Adam and Marco have enough energy left to expand this to many more species, including gram+ 😉
Excited to share something from my previous postdoc with @mgalactus, a collaboration with the @JoergLab using lab evolution to see how different bacterial species develop resistance to programmable antibiotics:

I am excited to announce several post-doc positions studying gene regulation and cell biology of spirochetes are available in the @NIH Biology of Spirochetes Unit, opening 2025 in Bethesda, MD @NIAIDNews! Join our team and work on the dynamic NIH campus: https://t.co/TR30e9uWVt
Gathering in the French senate to discuss the great potential of extracellular RNA. It’d be most interested to use it to find RNA transporters for organ-specific delivery in RNA medicine. Big thanks to Amy Buck and others for organizing this.
