Wrapping up my last weeks in 🇨🇭 with the publication JExpMed of a big part of my PhD @ Hardt lab ETH Zurich D-BIOL @ ETH Zurich Microbiology_ETH 🤩 👉Intercrypt sentinel #macrophages induce modular #NFkB activation in intestinal epithelial cells via #TNF bit.ly/2YUxeJe Paper🧵👇

Outstanding performance by Stefan Fattinger, our joint PhD student w. HardtLab Microbiology_ETH, at his thesis defense. Congrats, Dr. Fattinger, on a real banger of a thesis! Featuring #Salmonella, #intestinal #epithelium and #inflammasome signaling.

DOUBLE TROUBLE! We tracked an intriguing "doublet" subpopulation of simultaneously mid-division + swimming Salmonella Typhimurium bacteria. They swim much straighter, enhancing spread!💥 Story is out now in Molecular Microbiology (Mol Micro Editors): doi.org/10.1111/mmi.14…

The ✨sparkly✨ version of our recent Sellin Lab paper is now out! A short summary 🧵in 4 tweets below, and read it in Mol Micro Editors here: doi.org/10.1111/mmi.14…

Anyone up for a thread of passive-aggressive lab notes? I'll start. I feel the stains on this one add some depth to the message:

Fantastic talks this week at the #mucin2022 meeting in Utrecht, ranging from mucin structure to mucus-eating microbes and host-pathogen interactions. So much yet to learn!

The application process for 28 PhD positions in the Máxima Butterfly program opened today. Ambitious researchers from around the world looking for a PhD track at a leading pediatric oncology hospital are invited to apply. ✏ research.prinsesmaximacentrum.nl/en/news-events…

Opportunity!: Fully funded #postdoc position open in our lab. We seek a candidate to combine live cell imaging with enteroid/colonoid models of gut bacterial infection. Sample papers & movies below. RT appreciated. Apply through link until April 5th. uu.se/en/about-uu/jo…

Petra Geiser with some help from Jorik van Rijn presents one of our protocols for reasonably facile (well, as facile as it gets with enteroids) imaging of infection-induced cell death in enteroid monolayers. In the latest MMB issue on #pyroptosis. link.springer.com/protocol/10.10…

PhD pos available in our lab. You into imaging + bacteria + gut organoids? Apply here before Nov 22: jobb.uu.se/details/?posit… The pos is one out of twelve in the exciting new #MSCA doctoral network SurfEx. Read all about the calls here: surfex-project.eu RT appreciated.

I'm excited to show this work to the world. What started as tinkering with a new microscope turned into a collab I'm very proud of! Thank you Ana Lopes (not on X), Sellin Lab, et alia for the great times!
