Sharma Lab

Thrilled and honored to receive an #ERCCoG for our #bacRBP project to explore RNA binding proteins in bacteria.😀🥳Big thanks to my current and former lab members, my collaborators, mentors, many colleagues, and @ERC_Research panel & reviewers! @Uni_WUE bit.ly/ResultsCoG2021

Excited that our work "Pre-trained molecular representations enable antimicrobial discovery" has been published in @NatureComms ! Can we leverage unlabeled chemical structures to find new inhibitors of bacterial growth? The answer is YES Check it out: rdcu.be/eheeW

New preprint on our #Campylobacter Tn-seq screen in a 3D tissue model revealing a #smallprotein crucial for motility by @monaalzheimer.bsky.social @KathiFroschauer @campy-bara.bsky.social together with @BeebyLab & Hendrixson lab: 👉biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

You can now also find us on Bluesky: @sharmalab.bsky.social

We are happy to share our new paper on the #Campylobacter translatome and #smallproteins out now in @NatureComms. Many congrats to @KathiFroschauer & @campy_bara and all collaboration partners! @SPP__2002 nature.com/articles/s4146…

@VAAM_Microbes Many congratulations, Kathi @microbeRNA! 👏🥳

Congratulations 🎉to Dr Kathrin Froehlich, Jena on the VAAM Research Award 2025🏆 Her work on regulatory RNA molecules in bacteria shows how microbes use RNA to adapt to their environment and makes it possible to better understand and combat pathogens. t1p.de/2ghut

Honouring Susan Gottesman’s major contributions in the field of microbiology, biochemistry & molecular biology, DSMZ researchers named the strain Streptomyces gottesmaniae (DSM 3412) after her. #herstory #WomenInScience #antibiotics #mRNA #streptomycetes #microbiology

@baerboletta @TU_Muenchen Congrats, Bärbel! 👏🥳

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be setting sail into new waters! I've recently been appointed Chair of Intestinal Microbiome at @TU_Muenchen and will be soon transitioning to #TUMSchoolofLifeSciences in Freising. #PhD and #Postdoc positions available- please share!

I am excited to announce several post-doc positions studying gene regulation and cell biology of spirochetes are available in the @NIH Biology of Spirochetes Unit, opening 2025 in Bethesda, MD @NIAIDNews! Join our team and work on the dynamic NIH campus: training.nih.gov/jobs/pdfi-0128…

1/5 Big news from Aguilar Lab! Check out our first preprint! We’ve developed a new prostate organoid model to crack the mystery of E. coli prostatitis, a common, tough-to-treat infection in men. Our model reveals how these bacteria get in and thrive. #UPEC #Organoids #UTI

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

A very warm welcome to Irene Beusch @pauletteoctopus, who just joined us at the Institute of Molecular Infection Biology @Uni_WUE to start her lab on #RNA splicing regulation! beuschlab.org 🚨See also her open call for PhD student positions: rb.gy/6432qj

@Jens_Hoer @Nature Congrats to all authors! 👏🥳

Thrilled to share the final version of my postdoc project, out today in @Nature! We investigated the Bil system – a ubiquitin-like antiphage defense system – and discovered a new defense mechanism! More info in the thread below 👇 nature.com/articles/s4158…

🚨New paper from our lab on two #smallRNAs that impact flagella biogenesis and motility of the foodborne pathogen #Campylobacter out in @NatureComms . 👇 Many congrats and thanks to @FabianK6665 & @campy_bara for their great work! 😀 @Uni_WUE @grk2157 @bayresq

@SaharMelamed @MeetingRna Thanks a lot, Sahar! 😀

Congratulations to the ⁦@SharmaLab1⁩ on a fascinating story of two small RNAs that fine-tune hierarchical flagella gene expression in Campylobacter jejuni!!! ⁦@MeetingRna⁩ nature.com/articles/s4146…

Junior Research Group Leaders job with University of Würzburg - Medical Faculty - great option ⁦@Uni_WUE⁩ nature.com/naturecareers/…

@nevacaliskan @uni_regensburg @MeisterLab Congratulations, Neva! 🎉 Have a great start in Regensburg! 🍀

1st Office day as the Chair of Biochemistry III @uni_regensburg 🍾 I recently took over the House of Ribosomes’ from Prof. H. Tschochner. Thanks to incredibly supportive colleagues helping us to settle in and @MeisterLab for the warm welcome!

A big thank you to everyone who made the joint #DGHMVAAM Conference 2024 in Würzburg such a success! 🌟🙏 We hope you enjoyed it & looking forward to see you all again at the @VAAM_Microbes 2025 Annual Conference in Bochum ▶️📅March 23-26, 2025 #microbiology #Mikrobiologie

Short talk on Ribo-seq and small proteins @SPP__2002 at the #VAAMDGHM2024 by @EliFiore6 from our lab with Kathi Fröhlich @microbeRNA as Chair 😊.

@SharmaLab1 @vaam @dghm @OKurzai @LuedersLab @Uni_WUE Successful kickoff of the joint DGHM-VAAM meeting

Enjoying the Workshop on the @dfg_public Core Facility #MICROSEQ and microbial #scRNA-seq at the #DGHM-VAAM (@VAAM) held by @JoergLab @FabianImdahl @ssespinozam with an overview of #scRNA-seq methods in bacteria and a lively Q&A session.
