Led by Jakob T Rostøl and Nuria Quiles, with Lasa_Lab, we show that prophages utilise noncontiguous operons to balance immunity and autoimmunity. Our results underscore the essential fine regulation of these processes for prophages' life cycle development.

Happy to share our update on the bacterial superantigens rdcu.be/dv2nZ with Stephen Tuffs (@UVicBCMB) Karine Dufresne Aanchal Rishi and Nick. Big thanks to editor Kirsty Minton Nature Rev Immunol for her exceptional help Microbiology & Immunology Schulich WesternU Western Research

Two complementary papers are out today, providing important insights into the intricate mechanisms used by arbitrium phages to control lysis-lysogeny. One is from Avigdor Eldar lab: rdcu.be/dvbe2. The other is from Alberto Marina and my lab: rdcu.be/du9nU

Amazing opportunity for a flexible proactive highly motivated self-starter to be involved in the development and implementation of research strategy The Roslin Institute. elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

Outstanding PhD Programme with world class supervisors and mentors, and in arguably the most beautiful city in the UK. Apply, apply, apply!

Congratulations again Martín for an excellent viva.

Latest from the lab! Great fun with Alberto Marina and Avigdor Eldar's labs. Led by Aisling Brady and Elena Cabello Yeves.
