Michael Terns

My lab has postdoc openings in the following areas: 1) Structural biology and single molecule biophysics; 2) Developing novel genome editing methods; and 3) Protein and RNA engineering. Please share the info with your trainees, and RT please. 🙏 #academic_jobs_yale-block_1-0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">postdocs.yale.edu/yale-postdocto…

Type III CRISPR systems can provide robust immunity against phage and plasmids without harming the host bacterium: academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

It was such a treat to host Michael Terns (@mpterns) for a seminar here at @Penn yesterday! We got to hear the latest about archaeal adaptive immunity (CRISPR)! And chat over some🍸😃

@SantiagoFrangos @Penn The pleasure was mine! Thank you Andrew for the kind invite and great hosting. So great to see how fast your research program has grown already. What a great group of individuals that are now members of your research team! I’m an even bigger fan now of @SantiagoFrangos and @Penn

@MartinJinek Bravo Martin! Well-deserved

@mfwhite2 Sounds a bit like heaven on earth

@GrannemanSander @MEKlab @IraIosub Well-deserved Professor Granneman!

@ARDavidson_UofT Bravo Kristina! We are all proud of you (and frankly, I’m a touch envious….). Keep up the great work!

Congratulations to my Ph.D. student, Kristina Sztanko, for winning a poster prize at the Symposium on the Immune System of Bacteria in Boston. This was one of only 3 prizes chosen from more than 100 posters. The competition was very strong. Awesome work, Kristina!

@SantiagoFrangos @Penn @ANemudraia @artemnemudryi @WiedenheftLab Enjoy the process Andrew!

Flying to Philly to start the next chapter @Penn ! Major "Wanderer above the sea of fog" vibes as I make the transition - Very excited! Thanks @ANemudraia, @artemnemudryi, and the @WiedenheftLab for the lego set "Start-Up Package" :D! Going to miss yall!

@gaofir @BayerFoundation @SorekLab @PlantEvolution Bravo Gal!

Thank you @BayerFoundation for the recognition and award, and special thanks to my mentors @SorekLab and @PlantEvolution for their support and trust!i

OUT NOW CRISPR systems canonically protect against invading viral DNA, but could they also influence parasitic associations between archaea? nature.com/articles/s4156…

@Jackson_Lab_USU Thanks Ryan!

@mpterns Very cool!

Archaea use histones to update their CRISPR memory banks! twitter.com/NatureMicrobio…

@lorenzphil09 Thanks Philipp!

@rafapinilla92 Thanks Rafa!

@mpterns Congrats! Looking forward to reading in detail! 😃
