Scientist & molecular entrepreneur. Founder of @VestaronCorp & Infensa Bioscience. We use venoms to inspire development of novel #therapeutics & #insecticides.
My @TEDx talk “Deadly cures: how venomous animals could save your life” is now online. My attempt to explain why #venomous animals should be admired and respected rather than vilified. https://t.co/k0CuMogiMx
Hey @LewisArchibald_ , it was great pleasure to meet you at the 36th European Peptide Symposium in Sitges and discuss #Peptide4crops with you and @FabienPlisson. Looking forward to hearing more about your bioinsecticide work at Solasta Bio.
Absolute pleasure to meet @FabienPlisson and long-time peptide hero of mine @VenomsLab at the wonderful #EPS2022 in Sitges. Great to discuss the amazing potential of animal-derived peptides in therapeutics and agriculture. Some incredible work shown over the week!
Back on Twitter after 1 month travelling to USA for @grcvenom, UK for Oxford Venoms & Toxins, Spain for 36th European Peptide Symposium, & Singapore to shoot a video for @PacBio. Nice to be back in sunny Brisbane for an extended period of time. Photo is of 'Venoms GRC' attendees.
Prey specialisation is known as stenophagy. Please contact Ondřej or me if you know where to find any of the pictured prey-specialist spiders. #WhiteTailedSpiders, #PelicanSpiders, #PirateSpiders & Portia prey on other spiders, while the other pictured spiders like to eat ants.
Ondřej Michálek, a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow in @VenomsLab, studies the venom of #spiders that eat specific prey, such as ants or termites. Please contact me or Ondřej @SpecSpiderVenom if you know where to find #WhiteTailedSpiders (Lampona murina), which eat other spiders.

A bit niche, I know! This one took ~20 hours. Prints are available on my Etsy store now 🕷🍁🌹🐝🍊
Thanks to @compoundchem and @sciencefocus for the science 🧬
