Jay Hinton leading a careers discussion for CBRB Imperial Department of Infectious Disease thank you Jay!

First look at the two indoor swimming pools of the new Helmholtz Institute Würzburg (HIRI) building. Looking forward to some relaxing breaks. Good choice Jörg Vogel!

Resubmitting to a different journal

An iRIL-seq revolution from Shanghai 😉 Glad to see this paper is out. And congratulations to Yanjie on making progress with his own lab.

Kicking off the EAM Executive Board meeting with lunch in the famous Pasteur „canteen“. Many thanks to host Carmen Buchrieser Carmen Buchrieser Selected new EAM Fellows, official announcement to follow next week. And soon we’ll also learn who’ll succeed me as EAM President in 2025!

Unbelievably cute.

This was a great evening, indeed. Looking forward to be cohosting Rotem Sorek Lab at Helmholtz Würzburg Helmholtz Institute Würzburg (HIRI) together with Veit Hornung (LMU).

One of the many reasons for Germans to do a postdoc abroad.

#Singlecell analysis opens up new avenues for an early detection of diseases. The technology holds the promise of future precision medicine and may revolutionize disease prevention. Watch this animation to learn more: youtu.be/FiF605QM0qo?fe…

The pipette saga continues. World-class researchers such as the überbiochemist Utz Fischer The Fischer Biochemistry Lab rushing to donate 21st century equipment. Soooo grateful!

Proud to report that I’m back at the bench, at least temporarily. Can’t find my favourite pipette, though, happy to borrow if you happen to have a spare one.

The November dinner of our faculty of medicine is about to start. I love it.

Amazing body control!

Yes, it’s on the London-Paris-Vienna line, and the only stop in Germany except Frankfurt airport 🦈

Digging ever deeper. Making a hole in the ground to eventually put the bottom plate for the new Helmholtz Institute for RNA & Infection.

Okay, one more time!

We have launched our hiring initiative for up to 20 independent junior research groups in the areas of infection biology, microbiology, technology, etc. Job ad below. Happy to fill you in with more details, just write to me [email protected] helmholtz-hzi.de/en/career/jobs…

Before I forget: big applause to two members of the Vogel lab for winning OTS Barcelona poster prizes for work on programmable RNA antibiotics. Postdoc Linda Popella (left) for a global antibacterial ASO screen; PhD student Valentina Cosi (right) for ASOs against Fusobacterium!

RNA-binding proteins with a KH domain do all sorts of interesting stuff in eukaryotes. Now we identify them as the major small RNA interactors in the oncomicrobe Fusobacterium nucleatum. New bacterial RBP life after Hfq, ProQ and CsrA!
