@AndreasPeschel1 @FEMSmicro Congrats old friend 🎉

Honored to be a member of the European Academy of Microbiology @FEMSmicro now. Thanks all my current and previous team members for outstanding team work and contributions! Had a fantastic EAM Meeting in La Granja. fems-microbiology.org/eam-meeting-20…

Sad about the passing of Dr. Barbara Murray, a giant in enterococcal pathogenesis research. My lab has always been extremely grateful for her help in our E faecalis project. Rest in peace!

@lab_maier @TypasLab @JoergLab @baerboletta Congrats! Very exciting!

Over the moon that the DFG is establishing a priority programme to elucidate gene functions in the human gut microbiome. I am delighted to be coordinating this programme with @TypasLab, @JoergLab and @baerboletta. Exciting science to come! dfg.de/de/service/pre…

@SimonHeilbronn1 @DZIF_ @TRR261 @CoE_CMFI Nice!!

I am really happy to see this published! Great work lead by Fabian Grein! @DZIF_, @TRR261, @CoE_CMFI. A special bacteriocin kills Corynebacteria in the nasal microbiome! academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-…

@AndreasPeschel1 @CoE_CMFI @DZIF_ Really nice! Keep up the good work Simon

Great story Simon! Our nose is a battle ground... @CoE_CMFI @DZIF_

@HarrisTryonLab @UTSWDerm This is a great story. Congrats to getting it out and good luck to push it forward to eventual publication! Well deserved.

Invasive Staphylococcus epidermidis uses a unique processive wall teichoic acid glycosyltransferase to evade immune recognition ift.tt/pY3zXqE

@Staph_papers Another great teichoic acid paper!

@Liwen_Deng811 Great work!

Excited to share our story about S. aureus and itch! authors.elsevier.com/c/1i821L7PXmeD1

@EricSkaar @hualiang2018 @QiangjunZhou @Nature Great! Congrats Erik!

C. diff 🦠 produces iron storage organelles to cope with massive changes in nutrient iron levels experienced during gut inflammation. New work from @hualiang2018 and Rong Sun in collaboration with @QiangjunZhou published in @Nature. nature.com/articles/s4158…

@AndreasPeschel1 Good seeing you guys! Already snuck out to meet my parents 😁

Thanks Victor for joining and for an awesome talk!

Great to meet all these current and previous members of the Tubingen Staphylococcus crowd at #GRCStaph! @SimonHeilbronn1 @AndreaSalz91125 @MinhThuNguyen3 @Lau_cms @XinDu17 @Sook_Ha_Fan @maicotto @DoroKretschmer @Chris_R_Beck @wolzce @WYuLab

@DaneParkerLab @PLOSPathogens @Javi_meowcrobes Congrats!

Our latest work is now online in @PLOSPathogens journals.plos.org/plospathogens/… We show that the pentose phosphate pathway of Staphylococcus aureus is integral for multiple aspects of pathogenesis. Thanks to Jeff Boyd and @Javi_meowcrobes as collaborators! 1/3

@TorresVJ_Lab @StJude Congrats and good luck in the new position Victor!

3/5 I am moving to @StJude to build and lead the Department of Host-Microbe Interactions, which will focus on fundamental research in infectious diseases, host-microbe/pathogen interactions, AMR, and immunity to infection. stjude.org/research/depar…

1/5 News Alert! After ~14 wonderful years at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the TorresVJ_Lab will be relocating and joining the faculty of the incredible @StJude @StJudeResearch. stjude.org/media-resource…
