Our work on DPANN archaea is now published in Nature Communications rdcu.be/dQ7we. @NatureComms, @UniMelb, @Bio21Institute, @CCeMMP, @UniMelbMDHS. Thanks to @HFSP for generously supporting our work.

In our latest preprint, we show that the DPANN ARM-1 interacts with its host (AS-7) through intercellular proteinaceous nanotubes. Intriguingly, these tubes are assembled by the HOST, which likely suggests that the host also has a vested interest in this relationship!

🙏🏻 Roberto for this beautiful & inspiring piece 👏 Monod, Jacob, Luria etc said that Existentialism was the only honest philosophical choice for scientists. Instead, I growingly feel also oriental wisdom & its emphasis on non-dualism as the right way to go journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb…

Very excited to share our latest study using cryo-ET to investigate actin filaments in #Apicomplexan parasites. This allowed us to learn where do these filaments originate at the cell tip and how they could be managed down the cell body to power motility!

When I started my PhD, I was expecting (hoping?) some of my research would end up published, but not my face... Well, It changed today! 😅😂@CostaT_Lab at @CBRB_Imperial got some worldwide fame and was featured in the @shaastramag magazine. Full issue: shaastramag.iitm.ac.in/special-featur…

Super excited to share the latest pre-print from the Shaffer lab - we mechanistically characterized asymmetric architectural features that enable DNA substrate selection and trans-kingdom conjugation through the cag T4SS. I'm so proud of my amazing team! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
