The "Research Day" at our department D-HEST is always caleidoscope of exciting science from food over health to medicine.
Phage biotechnology was well represented with Dorentina @humollidorentina.bsky.social and Enea @phagemuffin.bsky.social from our group and the lab of Martin Loessner. 🧫🧬🍻

Any phage ppl at #ASMMicrobe2026 ?
I’ll be a panelist at the Science & Society Lecture on phage therapy & AMR, Sunday June 7, 2026, 4:30 PM, Ballroom AB, Washington D.C.
Will be sharing experience - phagefoundry.org on platform techs needed fo translation

Fantastic visit to Paris for a talk at Institut Pasteur and some time off with the family - it's great whenever this combination works out 🧬🍹🗼
After some divine wine and cheese with the group of Laurent Debarbieux I feel we need to seriously ramp up our apero game in Zürich 🍷🧀💖

Highlight of each workshop at schools are newly isolated phages - and discussions why most plaques exclude each other when they touch. Phage-induced phenotypic resistance! 🧫🧬🛡

Prokaryotes harbor a diverse spectrum of extrachromosomal elements (ECEs), which are
intracellular replicons maintained independently of the primary chromosome. Historically,

Here, the authors reveal that abundant gut bacteriophages use adhesive proteins to bind, enter, and traffic inside human epithelial cells, reshaping how phages are understood in the microbiome and ope...
