Great to see this study out that members of our lab contributed to: systemic immune activation (through lipopolysaccharides) promotes 100-10,000 fold expansion of opportunistic pathogens in the mouse gut - https://t.co/FdUcT0ANhy
Check out this interview with @PietroTedesco on the work that he is contributing to #BlueRemediomics - an EU horizon Project that we are also a part of!
🎙️🔬We spoke with #BlueRemediomics researcher @PietroTedesco from @SznDohrn who focuses on identifying #compounds & #enzymes with high potential for pharma or cosmeceutical applications.
📹 Watch the video with Pietro below!

Last week we hosted a group of schoolchildren in our lab to discover environmental microbes during the National Future Day @Zukunftstag at @ETH_en. We had a lot of fun isolating bacteria and fungi and studying them under the microscope
Letzte Woche war eine Gruppe von Schulkindern in unserem Labor auf Spurensuche nach Umweltmikroben während des Nationalen @Zukunftstag an der @ETH_en. Wir hatten viel Spass beim Isolieren von Bakterien und Pilzen und beim Programmieren von ihrem eigenen Bild.

This work is here thanks to @emily_fogarty11, whose dedication turned a surprising observation into a piece of science.
But many others helped us push it forward. @sandralmclellan, @KarenLolans, @mschecht_bio, @AmyDWillis, @SunagawaLab, Laurie Comstock et al, THANK YOU ALL :)
A reminder for ECRs who are looking for an opportunity to form their own group to study contemporary questions in marine sciences in Germany with 5-years of support:

New computational tools from @SunagawaLab@NCCRMicrobiomes 👏
mBARq: a versatile and user-friendly framework for the analysis of DNA barcodes from transposon insertion libraries, knockout mutants and isogenic strain populations https://t.co/St0GxWK5fB
I'm excited to share that I've accepted a position as Professor for #environmental#microbiology at @uniinnsbruck in Austria.
My lab will focus on microbial omics of uncharacterised taxa and on plastic biorecycling.
Will post job ads shortly - for 2x PhD and 1x postdoc
Predicting interactions in plant microbiomes made possible. Metabolic modelling sheds light on bacterial interactions in planta, see the recent work by Vorholt Lab @ETH_en and @realLCSB at EPFL. More: https://t.co/hzWV3ogfjp
What is #EMBLtrec about? Why did we embark on a journey along the European coastlines? What are the scientific questions we are studying?
