It is finally out!
Muntathar Al-Shimary, Doudna Lab, @bradyfcress and I present a gene knockdown tool that works in diverse phages: CRISPRi through antisense RNA Targeting (CRISPRi-ART)!
Check out the final paper in @NatureMicrobiol

📢 Thrilled to announce our latest research in @CellCellPress! We've created a global ‘superbug map’ for a critically antibiotic-resistant bacterium to inform #phagetherapy 🧵1/11 https://t.co/TVAzlSOxIx
So excited the latest discovery is out on Viral coinfection, Superinfection dominance, and Temperature modulating outcome. Super research by Claudia Meyer! And Vicky Jackson :-)

Excited to share our latest paper on new Eukaryotic-like bacteriophage defense systems. What great joint project by @DaanFvdBerg, @AnaRitaMCosta and Jelger Esser combining the power of bioinformatics and experiments.

A new review from our lab: Diving into drug-screening: Zebrafish Embryos as an in vivo Platform for Antimicrobial Drug Discovery and Assessment https://t.co/W3miXIhe8D
There's career defining publications: I believe this paradigm shifting #phagetherapy manuscript is a testament to the stamina and perseverance of @PaulPirnay
. I'm honored to have been part of the ride through these years.

I wrote a review/perspective on the search for principles of microbial ecology across scales, with a focus on (community) metabolism. I hope it can be a useful primer for people interested in microbial communities from a more quantitative perspective.

On a personal note, Cologne was great fun but I’m also happy to be back in the Netherlands. I am aware academia often requires difficult tradeoffs, and I feel incredibly grateful and lucky to have landed such a dream job and simultaneously live close-by family and many friends.
Next week I’ll be starting as an Assistant Professor at the @VUamsterdam, working on superbugs and their phages. I’m obviously very excited:). Together with @MattiGralka we’ll soon be looking for a PhD-student working on phages in bacterial communities, stay tuned! (1/4)
I’ll be joining the Molecular Microbiology department of @edith_houben , @wilbertbitter, @sluirink and many others at @ALIFE_VU. Hard to imagine a more fantastic place. I’m looking forward to building collaborations in this highly multidisciplinary environment.
