Hiring Alert: My lab(www.labofpie.org) is looking for BS/MS-level research assistants to study fungal-bacterial competition. Come join us if you are interested! ipmb.sinica.edu.tw/en/recruitme...
If you know a graduating undergraduate looking for the chance to spend 1-2 years in a lab before graduate school, we're hiring! Our lab explores morphogenesis, defining how the cell adhesion & cytoskeletal machinery work together to allow cells to change shape & move tarheels.live/peiferlab/ 1/n RT
What a nice summary of our preprint on cellular miniaturization! Thank you @anastasiamoraiti.bsky.social for writing this wonderful @prelights.bsky.social!

📣Huge preprint 🔔
Today we share something our group has been working toward for a long time, led by @lucasmoriniere.bsky.social We asked can we predict which receptor a phage targets from its genome sequence alone? For most phages, we couldn’t. So Lucas set out to do something I had only dreamed of.

Bacterial immune proteins have repeatedly evolved to become parts of eukaryotic immunity. But how?
Our new preprint uncovers a recent horizontal transfer event & shows how eukaryotes co-opted a toxic bacterial immune protein 🦠🧪🧵 1/
Magnesium depletion by Candida albicans unleashes two unusual modes of colistin resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa with different fitness costs.

Celebrating our lab manager Aida Flor de la Cruz, on her 30th anniversary of working at @fredhutch.org @basicsci.fredhutch.org
Aida is absolutely amazing at everything she does, from art, pottery, baking to microscopy, therapy, & drosophila genetics. We’re very lucky to have her.
This study uncovers how Pseudomonas aeruginosa acquires colistin resistance in magnesium-depleted environments created by Candida albicans by accumulating unique mutations in the lipid A biosynthetic ...
