Thomas Böttcher

Professor of Microbial Biochemistry at University of Vienna. Investigating microbial metabolites and modulating bacterial behavior. #ChemicalBiology 🇺🇦

[Thomas Böttcher @TBoettcher_Lab]

There will be a highly attractive doctoral school program shared with 9 other PIs from the pharmaceutical science department of University of Vienna. #DrugDevelopment #antibioticresistantinfections

[Thomas Böttcher @TBoettcher_Lab]

We are looking for an excellent and highly motivated student in Chemical Biology for a PhD position in our group within the AIDD docfunds program @stem_univie to investigate anti-infectives from antagonistic microbial interactions. Apply until 03.05.2025:

[Thomas Böttcher @TBoettcher_Lab]

Please only apply online via the weblink. Skills in organic chemistry, NMR, natural product chemistry, chemical biology and biochemistry are desired, expertise in microbiology is a plus but alone not sufficient.

@MrJustinLindsey @moogreturns36 @jmhorp alpha country? You are kidding. Just like the US president bowed to Putin and sold off Ukraine? Your credibility as world police has gone to ZERO since Trump took office.

[Thomas Böttcher @TBoettcher_Lab]

@SenMarkKelly it is like the US is run by a bunch of 5 year old bullies who can't even argue in a grown up way - let alone accept an opinion that is different from their own.

[Thomas Böttcher @TBoettcher_Lab]

@amconmag So the deal is to give in to what Russia wants and get nothing in return. That statement could have been read 1:1 by a spokesperson of the Kremlin. The US is weaker than ever.

[Thomas Böttcher @TBoettcher_Lab]

@elonmusk So, for one billion dollars, you'd be selling your country as the world's nuclear waste dump? That might even be an economically valid business model, not sure if that is what you want though...

A wonderful collaboration work led by @microbetracker with @MichiWagner4 @DOME_Vienna @JMF_Vienna @kirk3gaard @sotonbiosci with David Szamosvari from our lab on a Parkinson's drug affecting our gut microbiome is now published in @NatureMicrobiol

[Nature Microbiology @NatureMicrobiol]

OUT NOW 💊Entacapone, a Parkinson's disease medication, sequesters iron resulting in a selective inhibition of gut microbial metabolism @MichiWagner4 @microbetracker @DOME_Vienna @JMF_Vienna @kirk3gaard @sotonbiosci https://t.co/9scsKsbTFq

[Fatima Pereira @microbetracker]

Our study on drug-gut microbiome interactions is out! 🦠💊 @NatureMicrobiol

We show that the #Parkinson's drug entacapone induces iron deficiency in microbes, leading to selective inhibition of microbial activity.

@elonmusk What is wrong with you Elon?
It is totally fine to be republican but it is not fine to vote for a serial offender, convicted felon, fraud, con man, cheater, nepotist, etc.
Trump is many things but he is not a decent person. It's as simple as that.

@elonmusk Sensible spending such as into his own pockets and businesses? Nepotism?
This guy does not care about free speech, safety or spending unless it is his own.

[Thomas Böttcher @TBoettcher_Lab]

@buerstmayr Deswegen sollten wir auch nicht auf neue Technologien WARTEN sondern sie ENTWICKELN!
Jetzt in Forschung investieren und nicht die Wirtschaftsleistung der wenigen Länder, die sich überhaupt Forschung leisten können solange herunterschrauben bis wir alle wieder in Höhlen hausen.

[Thomas Böttcher @TBoettcher_Lab]

@HilzFuld Because Kamala Harris is a sane person and not some convicted felon who lied about hush money payment, incited an insurrection, colluded with Russia, and bragged about sexual offenses? She appears trustworthy and respectable.

[Thomas Böttcher @TBoettcher_Lab]

@Tom_de_Belfore genau das meinte ich mit Arroganz und Ignoranz.
