Fantastic news 🤩! I got the Spanish grant Agencia Estatal de Investigación for my #nudibranch #symbiosis project at I2SysBio ! Vicente Arnau Manuel Martinez Mariana ReyesPrieto. and others as collaborators. + My student @dafneporcel defended her master thesis today! I made this cute stuffed #nudibranch for her

Will you join us in Berkeley or online for our Joint Genome Institute 2023 New Lineages of Life (NeLLi) Symposium this August? Submit poster abstracts by July 28 to be considered for a short talk! Register at jointgeno.me/NeLLi2023

I’m super happy to be joining the Universitätsallianz as a full/research professor for environmental #metagenomics at the Uni Duisburg-Essen @unidue.bsky.social. this promotion was a tough journey with many ups and downs but also bringing a lot of changes to our The Probst Lab. a thread 1/n

If you are looking for a postdoc and are interested in fluorescent probes, single cell sorting, sponge microbiomes and secondary metabolites, please contact me!
