Our @NatureComms paper on Mycobacterium abscessus population structure and transmission employing high-resolution core genome multilocus sequence typing has been voted Paper of the Month by #dghm. Congrats to @MarDir6, the entire team and @mukoinfo! dghm.org/aktuelles/pape…

Absolutely remarkable what our colleagues in Ukraine accomplish day by day in bombed out hospitals. Presented at the symposium "Diagnistic mycobacteriology: the path to 2030" at the Research Center Borstel @FZBorstel

Im Anschluß führten die Mitarbeiter*innen und Mitarbeiter des NRZs die Gäste in kleinen Gruppen durch das neue und hochmoderne S3-Laborgebäude, in dem in Zukunft jährlich die über 14.000 Proben aus aller Welt untersucht werden.

Im Rahmen der Feierlichkeiten überreichten Karin Prien, Ministerin für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Kultur, Dr. Ute Teichert vom @BMG_Bund & Landrat Landrat Jan Peter Schröder den symbolischen Schlüssel. Nach 5 Jahren Planungs- und Bauzeit ist das Gebäude nun bezugsfertig!

Bei strahlendem Sonnenschein fand heute die Eröffnung des neuen Laborgebäudes des Nationalen Referenzzentrums für Mykobakterien (NRZ) am @FZBorstel statt, die gemeinsam mit zahlreichen Gästen und Mitarbeiter*innen unter freiem Himmel gefeiert wurde.

Come join us online at 1:30 CEST tomorrow for our symposium "Diagnostic mycobacteriology: the path to 2030" @FZBorstel! Access link: us02web.zoom.us/j/86757708090 Program: fz-borstel.de/index.php/en/s… #tuberculosis #ntm #antimicrobialresistance #diagnostics

We are looking for a postdoc to work with our drug combinations team to design multidrug therapies for TB. Please write me if you have an adventurous and team-oriented spirit, attention to detail, and an interest in quantitative biology and machine learning. Please RT!

We are looking for group leader "data science". Supporting cool research in lung diseases. If you are interested - please apply. @FZBorstel @DZIF_ @medinflame @trans_evo @SRLBorstel fz-borstel.de/index.php/de/s

Cool work out - Stool sequencing for TB drug resistance prediction - great collaboration pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35585607/ @FZBorstel @medinflame @trans_evo @SRLBorstel @DZIF_

Keynote lectures by WHO and FIND, firsthand impressions from Ukraine, Namibia and Pakistan, updates on genomic #TB diagnostics+surveillance and on #NTM. Looking forward to seeing many of you!

Huge congrats to our colleague Laura Paulowski @SRLBorstel who just received the "Leibniz Drug of the Year 2022 award" together with Andra Schromm and Thomas Gutsmann of @FZBorstel Check out their PNAS paper here doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…! Well deserved!

See series of articles about our partners' work as they're finding out what's causing fever in 🇱🇦 🇲🇼 🇲🇿 🇿🇼 & which organisms are showing #antimicrobialresistance #AMR: ow.ly/HK1S50IXGwc @LSTMnews @Micropathology @SRLBorstel @MiraVistaLabs @MORUBKK @TropMedOxford @LSHTM_AMR

Thank you for your support, @mukoinfo !

Nice presentation by Nils Wetzstein on the results of the MoMaCF study. New insights into M. abscessus DCCs and their role in infection in German CF patients #ECCMID2022 @SRLBorstel @FZBorstel @mukoinfo @stefan_niemann

Happy to present our AnTBiotic consortium results at the #ECCMID2022 The first on-site congress in three years! Thank you @ESCMID @FZBorstel for this wonderful opportunity

Fantastic start of ECCMID in Lisbon - Great to meet colleagues again in person and discuss TB and other relevant pathogens. Great start of the Borstel team, more to come. @FZBorstel @DZIF_ @medinflame @trans_evo @SRLBorstel

Join us in Hamburg for the 2nd National NTM Congress. Keynotes, case discussions, updates on international guidelines. May 6./7. 2022 Details: fz-borstel.de/index.php/de/s… @FZBorstel

Great progress: official launch of TB sequencing in Eswatini. Next generation sequencing to detect MDR - translation to patient care is on the way - read more at ghpp.de/en/projects/se… @FZBorstel @medinflame @DZIF_ @trans_evo

Selection of the next Monteillet Musiolik Fellows @SRLBorstel done. We will invite all 10 shortlisted applicants for advanced TB training to @FZBorstel over the next two years. Humbled by the resonance, thanks to all applicants and referees! @ChristophLange @stefan_niemann

You did great, Flor. It was my pleasure to work with you on #T7SS in Mycobacterium abscessus. Well done!
