It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Peer Bork, an exceptionally impactful scientist and leader, and a lifelong mentor full of energy, passion, and warmth. He will be sorely missed.

How diverse are E. coli capsules? In collaboration with @mucosalimmunology.bsky.social we mapped this uncharted diversity in >66k genomes with a new tool, kTYPr, paving the way to capsule-targeted therapies and vaccines www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Another fantastic #zukunftstag where we welcomed a group of enthusiastic kids into our lab for the day to learn about cultivation and helps us pick colonies for identification!
Thanks to our great team members @martinsperfeld.bsky.social & Fabienne, Luca and Lisa

We are thrilled to announce the newest study from our lab (and great collaborators) is out now in @nature.com
We show that #coral #microbes are untapped "biosynthetic reservoirs", full of unique
natural products.

Mirusviruses are predicted to reproduce in the nuclei of unicellular eukaryotes
Very happy that members of our lab could contribute to this!

Stay curious guys and come to the good side, we need you here! Fun at Swiss National Future Day @microbiomeresearch.bsky.social @eth-microbiology.bsky.social @eth-microbiology.bsky.social. Most legit question of the day: “Wait… you have a pipetting robot, so why do we have to pipette by hand?”

Environmental metagenomic explorations show that Mirusviricota lineages lack essential replication and transcription genes and contain spliceosomal introns, suggesting nuclear reproduction.
