Bright students are great comfort nowadays. Our new paper reflects the high scholarship of @Nitsana88 , who initiated great collaborations to combine genetic and automated screens with interaction modeling to predict how TmaR interacts with and controls EI cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Very proud of my brilliant students Priya Kannaiah and @Omer_goldb for this discovery that assigns unexpected roles to the well-studied MinD and RNase E proteins. So grateful to @TamiGeiger12 and Ora Schueler-Furman for the collaborations 🙏

What determines polar mRNA localization in E. coli? Shanmugapriya Kannaiah, @OChoder et al @Hujimed find the polar transcriptome to depend on MinD inhibition of RnaseE recruitment embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

@wig_r @JoshMcquail @Helmholtz_HIRI @embl @CBRB_Imperial @ImperialInfect Very nice work! Congratulations!!

Delighted to see this out. Tremendous effort by @JoshMcquail and colleagues @Helmholtz_HIRI @EMBL @CBRB_Imperial @ImperialInfect academic.oup.com/nar/article/do…

One novelty in Tamar’s study is that, similar to disease-causing proteins, TmaR may transition to an irreversible solid state, suggesting that bacteria provide a model to study processes associated with human neurodegenerative diseases

In these dark days successes in science are like rays of sunlight through dark clouds. Proud of my student @Tamarszoke and her mates @Omer_goldb and @Nitsana88, who showed that the pole-localizer TmaR phase separates at the poles, thus regulating motility sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@Omer_goldb @IMRIC_HUJ @CellReports @HebrewU @Hujimed Well-deserved Omer!! Your passion for science is paying off!

Honored to receive the IMRIC Best Young Researcher Paper Award! Thanks to the committee @IMRIC_HUJ for choosing our paper on #Hfq #phase_separation published @CellReports, for this award. Thanks to all our lab members and especially my amazing mentor @OChoder! @HebrewU @Hujimed

Congrats @Omer_goldb and my other team members for the exciting study, published yesterday in @CellReports, showing that Hfq undergoes phase separation with RNA and the relevance of this process for its activity as an RNA chaperone ...עומר לך בכוחך זה cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Congrats to @tamarszoke for a identifying a novel mechanism for membrane localization of proteins that is evolutionarily conserved from bacteria to yeast mitochondria. Chapeau for promoting this original project while working on your main PhD project febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/18…

Congrats @Omer_goldb for a courageous project and 1st PhD paper. Provides proof-of-concept that the polygenic theory holds for bacteria. Many happy returns 😀 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@SaharMelamed @Hujimed I'm addicted to the sunsets from our building. Sahar, now you know the real motivation to join our department. I make students in my lab to stop their experiment to watch the sunsets.

What a nice view at the end of the workday @Hujimed

@vdlorenzo_CNB @CNB_CSIC Impressive indeed!

Woow! Impressive panel of speakers in our Seminar Program this term @CNB_CSIC 👇!
