Now open: applications for the ASM–CSIR‑IGIB Symposium on Decoding Microbial Systems! Join a global, interdisciplinary research community exploring microbial systems, genomics and data‑driven discovery. 📅 Apply by June 12. 👉 asm.social/2TJ

🚨 Amazing funding opportunity for PDRAs! If you’re interested in joining us in Manchester, please feel free to get in touch to discuss an application.

🚨New paper alert! Using single molecule TIRF microscopy, we show that Nop1 destabilizes RNA structure via transient, nonspecific interactions — until specific assembly of native ribosomal complexes takes over. Congrats, Wilson! 🎉 academic.oup.com/nar/article/54…

@MIDatGSBS @WalkerLab_UTH Many many congratulations Jana! I am sure this is just a new beginning of your future career endeavors, and I wish you the very best. Also, congrats to your fantastic mentor @WalkerLab_UTH ! 🥂

Congratulations to Jana Gomez, @WalkerLab_UTH , for a successful defense yesterday. Now, let the next chapter begin Dr. Gomez! 🎓

Dr. Arindam Naha delivered a lecture on “Hidden Vulnerabilities: Exploring Bacterial Cell Biology to Discover New Therapeutic Targets” at ICMR–NIRBI. The session sparked engaging discussions among scientists, staff, and research fellows. @MoHFW_INDIA #ICMR4NewIndia #WeAreICMR

@ICMRNIRBI @MoHFW_INDIA Thank you @ICMRNIRBI for providing me this wonderful opportunity. Getting back to the Ph.D. institute always remains special.

Worth reading.

Researchers engineered nonreplicating “SimCells” that selectively bind to and inject toxic proteins into multidrug-resistant bacteria. SimCells can also convert aspirin into hydrogen peroxide, killing more than 97% of target bacteria. In PNAS: ow.ly/4esP50YySHp

Poster abstracts and early bird registrations for the 31st Annual Meeting of the @RNASociety are due by March 31st! RNA 2026 website: rnasociety.org/conferences/ #RNA26

@LabRajyaguru @DukeU @iiscbangalore All the very best to her.

Another one leaves the nest, in this season of farewells. Wishing Gayatri (leading from the front in the pic) all the very best as she moves on to the next phase of her career @DukeU after fantastic PhD research work @iiscbangalore. Keep the flame burning👍🏾

RNA India Meeting 2026 will be held in Bangalore from April 27-29, 2026. Please register if RNA biology excites you. Spread the word.

RNA India Meeting 2026 (RIM2026) will be held at IISc, Bangalore, from April 27-29, 2026. We are super excited to reveal the fantastic line-up of speakers. Registration deadline: March 31. Waiver request deadline-March 25. Look forward to welcoming the participants in Bangalore!

As the @BiophysicalSoc Ambassador, I am starting an exciting new series "Careers in Biophysics"!!! 🥳🥳🥳First in the series is a discussion with @_KarishmaK moderated by @trushar_7!!! There will be loads of questions on navigating science careers. Details in the thread

Dr. Satarupa Ganguly, Dept Immunology, University of Pittsburgh, presented on “Tissue Specific Transcriptional Control of Inflammatory & Metabolic Functions in Alveolar Macrophages,” on 19.03.26 @ICMRNIRBI. #ICMR4NewIndia #HealthResearch @ICMRDELHI @DeptHealthRes @MoHFW_INDIA

Delhi: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, "I think it’s extremely important, frankly, given the way the world is going. We need institutions of exceptionally high quality to emerge from India, and they should, in turn, have the ability to connect with and hold their own against institutions from around the world..."

New #mGem: Horses for courses in mapping bacterial small RNA interaction networks. Powerful RNA‑ligation sequencing methods now map bacterial #sRNA interaction networks in vivo, revealing how small RNAs coordinate big regulatory decisions. doi.org/10.1128/mbio.0… #mBio #genomics

Do viruses use RNA to rewire bacteria? Yes! In our paper in @MolecularCell we use #RILseq to uncover that phages don’t just encode proteins, they use small RNAs to hijack bacterial DNA replication and fine-tune infection. @MeetingRna @RNA_ISR @HebrewU cell.com/molecular-cell…

@SaharMelamed @MeetingRna @RNA_ISR Looking forward to the next one!

I never expected horses 🐎 in my RNA research, but here we are 😁 In our new perspective, Simon Dove and I discuss how RIL-seq maps transcriptome-wide sRNA networks in vivo and how iRIL-seq expands the RNA–RNA interaction toolbox. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… @MeetingRna @RNA_ISR
