I wonder if we would have mRNA therapeutics if Karikó had taken similar advice.

After many years abroad, Fabio Petroni has returned to Italy to establish an independent research group at EMBL Rome.

Here, he will be developing AI systems to support life science research.

We are looking to take on an intern at EMBL Rome, for anyone interested in CRISPR and Epigenetics training.

The traineeship is 3-12-months, in Rome (Italy), should start by July, and is supervised by the outstanding @steliostsagkris.bsky.social.

I think people both within science and outside science don’t fully appreciate the miracle that were the Covid-19 vaccines. How much courage it took to get the sequence out, how much work had already gone into figuring out the best viral antigen and how best to present it. 1/

Do you have ambitious plans to study the molecular mechanisms of environmental adaptation in mammalian model systems? Join EMBL Rome as an independent group leader: generous core funding & benefits, top-level students & core facilities. embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/d...

Paternal microbiome perturbations impact offspring fitness Nature - Disturbances in the gut microbiota of male mice manifest as fitness defects in their offspring by affecting plancenta function, revealing a paternal gut–germline axis.

As an "EIPOD" interdisciplinary postdoc in @jamiehackett.bsky.social and our lab, @denbobalab.bsky.social found that "Paternal microbiome perturbations impact offspring fitness" (2024): antibiotic treatment of male mice led to low birth weight & higher mortality in offspring
