Interested in #bacteria and their interactions with host cells? Fully funded #PhD #studentship available in @jsalje lab to study the biology of obligate intracellular bacteria. See findaphd.com/phds/departmen… for details.

I am running the Cambridge half marathon in a few weeks and raising funds for Alzheimers research. This is a really important cause - please donate if you can! :-) givengain.com/project/jeanne…

@chicaScientific Ooh amazing!! Congratulations!!!

So many great scientists on this list - honored to be a AAAS fellow this year! aaas.org/programs/fello…

@LabListon @BabrahamInst @CamPathology @Cambridge_Uni We haven't met yet, but we are now name neighbors in the big book! Look forward to working together in Pathology

All life-changing career steps should involve signing a massive tome on a wooden lectern. A big step for me today, getting ready to move from @BabrahamInst to @CamPathology in @Cambridge_Uni to take up the Professorship of Pathology!

@sandhyadhiman5 Hi Sandhya, unfortunately I don't have any funded postdoc openings right now but I hope to have some at some point in the next 1-2 years and will advertise when I do!

@JSalje Do you have any postdoctoral position too?

@profpathogen1 @goleylab Hi Shawna, Sorry I should have put this in the original tweet. It is only open to those who are eligible for home fees (mostly UK citizens but also some others).

@JSalje @goleylab Thanks for posting Jeanne! Am I correct in reading that posting that only UK citizens are eligible for the Home funding?

Update: this is based at Cambridge University (UK) and unfortunately only open to those eligible for home fees

@Jasleen27438993 Thanks for your interest. The details are in the link - look for the project about peptidoglycan

@JSalje As I working on Orientia tsutsugamushi currently. Kindly let me knw the email address where I can forward my resume for this post. Where can I view the complete advertisment of this project?

After years of efforts, first G(+) MreB polymers :) (and more). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@davidroper2 @Jack_A_Bryant @IMIBirmingham Thank you @davidroper2 ! It is lovely to be home :-) Looking forward to many interesting discussions about peptidoglycan!

@Jack_A_Bryant @JSalje @IMIBirmingham Wish I had known! @JSalje has some wonderful science and it’s a real win for the UK that she is back here!

We had a spectacular seminar today from @JSalje on the intracellular pathogen Orientia tsutsugamushi. An awesome body of work to develop tools to study this fascinating bug! Properly inspiring, thanks for coming Jeanne! @IMIBirmingham

@Jack_A_Bryant @IMIBirmingham Thank you so much @Jack_A_Bryant ! I really enjoyed talking you all and the other microbiologists in B'ham. I'm excited to be just down the road now!

Our structure of dynein-dynactin on microtubules is now out in @Nature! Thanks to @janetiwasa for this beautiful movie showing how cargos might use pairs of adaptors to recruit their motors. nature.com/articles/s4158…

@ClaessenLAB Yes - I think there is a really interesting story there about how/why it gets rid of its PG in that state. I'm excited to try and figure that out.

@JSalje Cool stuff. The EB state appears to classify at least as cell wall-deficient?

What happens to an obligate intracellular bacterium when it exits its host cell? Our new paper shows how Orientia tsutsugamushi differentiates into a distinct extracellular form. Explainer thread below. #citeas" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4146…

@AlexandreGouzy @LuizCarvalhoUK Yes, I would too!! We haven't measured this yet but I bet it is not random.

@JSalje @LuizCarvalhoUK Very exciting findings! 🎉✌️I would be curious to know what proteins are present on these bacteria-containing vésicules 🤔

@HansenLab1 @chicaScientific Thank you for the pointer @HansenLab1! This inspires me to go digging into the Buchnera literature more.

@JSalje @chicaScientific Reminds me of Buchnera aphidicola a lot “, we frequently found no correlation between mRNA and protein levels for a particular gene.” + biphasic developmental stages Eg ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

This work was the product of many years work by many people especially co-first authors Sharanjeet Atwal, Jantana Wongsantichon and Suparat Giengkam, as well as collaborators Sang-Hyuk Lee and Radoslaw Sobota

Now we are excited to study the nitty gritty hows and whys of these two Orientia tsutsugamushi forms and – importantly – their relative physiological significance in mites and mammals!
