Very happy and excited to share that my main PhD project has been published in @CellReports this week. We identified #RABGAP1L as a novel antiviral host factor that disrupts #endocytosis to limit cell entry of viruses using this pathway. doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.202…

Ich und meine Frau haben bereits letzte Woche entschieden, die Weihnachtszeit alleine zuhause zu feiern. Die Krankenhaus Auslastung in unserer Heimat ist sehr besorgniseregend, und dort gelten deutlich strengere Maßnahmen. Jeder kann sein Teil tun. Jeder muss seinen Teil tun.
Die am 11. Dezember beschlossenen Massnahmen reichen nicht aus.
Wir können uns eine Stagnation der Fallzahlen nicht leisten, geschweige denn einen erneuten Anstieg.
Wir müssen sofort handeln, gemeinsam und solidarisch.

Thrilled to see our recent publication on the state-of-the-art and the envisioned future of #phagetherapy to target #AMR #Pathogens.
Great times working with Brian Lennemann, @SamuelKilcher, @MartinLoessner and @timlu!
#PhageArt by my alter ego @Colorblind_Arts 🤗
Excited to share our thoughts on improving #phagetherapy through #synbio and genome engineering:

Congrats to the 2 first authors @FlyGeneticsGuy and Bryan Lenneman and to @MartinLoessner and @timlu for a great collaboration.

Check out this awesome #BacteriophageLamp my two amazing groomsmaids made me for my wedding 😍 I love the spiral light bulb symbolizing packaged DNA! (also don’t miss my beautiful relatives in the backdrop)

Proud to announce my second #PhageArt illustration has been published on the cover of this months @cellhostmicrobe issue. Thanks to @SamuelKilcher and @joeBondyDenomy (and all other contributors) who's innovative science makes the job easy!
Follow @FlyGeneticsGuy for the real me!
Great paper about dynamic RBP-surface interactions. Spontaneously reminded me of the famous
motor-protein march: youtu.be/y-uuk4Pr2i8

Beautiful study explaining why CRISPR resistance is rarely observed in laboratory settings but really important in more complex environments! Congrats! #bacteriophage #CRISPR nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Another example how to waste public money
The Bavarian parliament just decided to fund a study investigating the use of #homeopathy as an alternative to drugs in combatting infections caused by #multiresistent bacteria #mrsa #Wtf 🙈 sueddeutsche.de/bayern/bayer…

Humanity faces an alarming situation in which some infections have no cure. ETH's session, "RETHINK #antibiotics" during the @BerlinSciWeek revealed the evolution of antibiotics and how novel technologies can aid in advancing their development. #BerlinSciWeek19
Proud to see our groups work (and my cover art :) ) on bacteriophage engineering to be featured as front page news of @ETH_en. Congrats to Matthew Dunne and @SamuelKilcher for their great work!
ETH researchers are using synthetic #biology to reprogram bacterial viruses – commonly known as #bacteriophages – to expand their host range. This #technology paves the way for the therapeutic use of synthetic bacteriophages to treat bacterial infections. ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/e…

Hot off the presses! Our new paper in @CellReports @CellPressNews
"Reprogramming Bacteriophage Host Range through Structure-Guided Design of Chimeric Receptor Binding Proteins"

Big thanks to Matt Dunne and all co-authors for a fantastic collaboration!

Is there a better way to celebrate a @CellReports cover than with a #covercake ?
