Interested in unraveling how the #microbiome modulates health and disease? Come join my new lab at @UniJena! We have two #PhDpositions in #ChemicalBiology Synthesis: bit.ly/3JEjIwT Biochemistry: bit.ly/3BP7D5T #chemjobs #chemPhD #ChemTwitter #microverse_exc 1/3

Our first paper on our efforts mapping serine hydrolases in gut commensal bacteria is out. We identified a homolog of the human DPP4 protease in B. theta that is important for community fitness. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…




Now online, a focus issue on #Chemical #microbiology, highlighting chemical biology strategies to understand and manipulate host-pathogen interactions to enable development of new antiviral and antimicrobial therapies. hubs.li/Q01d4yKf0


Excited to share our paper now out in @NatureMicrobiol nature.com/articles/s4156…. We used our CG screening and clinical Mtb genomics method to reveal novel mechanisms of drug resistance and identify a new opportunity to potentially use clarithromycin in TB treatment
