Thrilled to share the updated video of my paper in Nature with Maciej (under supervision of @simonemattei.bsky.social & @jomaalab.bsky.social) Proud to use Cryo-ET to uncover how hibernation factors are key to translation restart! To model PTMs in situ and render animations fulfilled my PhD dream!🥹🎉
These two new PhDs 💕 Congrats Dr. Callan and soon to be Dr. Prince!

Awesome work! Still so much to learn about ribosome hibernation!
We have a PhD position in Leiden within our #ERCSyG @microclockerc.bsky.social project to dissect circadian clocks in bacterial biofilms
We are looking for candidates with optogenetics, single cell microscopy and image analysis background
Application deadline 12 June 2026

New insights into copper physiology in Bacillus subtilis. The outlines of the pathway for copper import and trafficking to support aerobic growth are emerging. Work led by Grayson Barnes, with support from our collaborators.

Bacterial transmembrane proteins usually localize inside the cell by "finding" a pre-localized protein, but how did the 1st protein get there? @vanipande.bsky.social found a protein in #B.subtilis that localizes by recognizing a *lipid* localization cue. #Microsky

Diverse mechanisms of translation arrest by a Clostridia ribosome stalling peptide CliM - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42151144/
See our new latest pre-print for a study led by grad student Ian Reynolds, with current and former undergrads Isabel Westin and Caleb Wood in the lab. A study that goes to show how so many cell surface processes are connected to each other in bacteria.
