We’re excited to share our latest work on bioRxiv:
"Salmonella exploits USP32 to coordinate Rab14 and Rab11 recycling pathways for intracellular survival" by Sapmaz et al

It's such a great honor and a wonderful opportunity to receive this starting grant from the @frm-officiel.bsky.social! Very excited to become a PI at @ipbstoulouse.bsky.social.
None of this would be possible without the support of my students, mentors, and peers.
This is only the beginning!🚀
🚨 We are excited to announce that @virginiestevenin.bsky.social has been awarded a starting grant from the @frm-officiel.bsky.social to establish her research team at IPBS and study the nutrition of pathogenic bacteria inside human host cells.

“we used mini organs, specifically mini-intestines, and infected them with a dangerous bacterium called Shigella” says @mldm.bsky.social
@sellinlab.bsky.social (SciLifeLab & @uu.se) shows that cultured mini-organs can uncover how pathogens cause disease

Planning to apply for #research #funding from the ERC?
From the next application rounds, expect changes to the:
• proposal structure
• evaluation process
• extra funding you can request
• eligibility for Starting & Consolidator #Grants (from 2027)

New pre-print in the lab! Beautiful work by Francisco Garcia-Rodriguez in collab with @kamovalenz.bsky.social
and @joaquinbernal.bsky.social : when macrophages are provided with specific nutrients, Salmonella can bypass its requirement of the T3SS to replicate, a process that occurs within the SCV

Great line of speakers.
Excitement plus!! The full program is online for the upcoming GRC Salmonella Biology and Pathogenesis meeting. There is still some room in the schedule for short talks, which will be chosen from submitted abstracts. Submit your abstract, if you haven't done so already.

Our latest contribution with a Comment in Nature Reviews Cancer (@natrevcancer.bsky.social) on the insidious contribution of Salmonella to gallbladder and colon cancers
Very thoughtful memoriam for Mike: rupress.org/jcb/article/...
I feel truly fortunate to have witnessed some of his magic firsthand.
For those of us living below sea level, it's time to sign up for the Dutch Society for Cell Biology Meeting.
Amazing line of speakers! (see preliminary program)

PS: highlanders also welcome ;)
Happy to see you here!
Je partage ici le message d'un collègue argentin a qui je demandais des news. Glaçant 😱!
La Méthode Milei (bel euphémisme gerbant) démantèle éducation&recherche, cible les savoirs qui comme aux US, gênent politiquement: climat&écologie, justice env.
Le fascisme s'installe. Sommes-ns a l'abri en 🇪🇺?
Long in the making but our protocol for gene editing is online! FAB CRISPR is super easy and allows the generation of N and C terminal fusions with TurboID, SNAP, Halo and mStayGold. A single cloninf step to generate HDR templates! arxiv.org/abs/2502.12675 1/n
We are live on Bluesky! Looking forward to sharing some great science :)

Dear Colleagues in the USA,
We wish to express our unwavering support for you during these alarming times. From our positions as #researchers and #academics in Europe

Deeply saddened by the passing of Prof. Mike Sheetz, a true leader in Mechanobiology. His groundbreaking work on Kinesin, membrane organization, and mechanotransduction has left an indelible mark. A tremendous loss to science. #Mechanobiology #Science #LaskerAward
My first science post here on BlueSky is a long one. Setting the contrarian tone from the very beginning, I take strong issue with the recent op-ed by Charles Piller published in the January 24th NY Times on #Alzheimer's disease (nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...)
Just discovered the Lab Culture Recipes project—celebrating the international and multicultural spirit of science by sharing scientists' favorite recipes from around the globe. Such a brilliant idea! 🍳🌍

Expansion microscopy really looks like a Monet.
Hi Folks!
What topics would you love to see explored in a roundtable discussion at a cell biology meeting?
I’d like to hear what excites the community and see if we can make it happen.
Good to see the New York Times discussing the likelihood of polio, whooping cough and measles outbreaks.
Happy to share our latest preprint on dormant #Salmonella and the role of SifA for intravacuolar nutrition! Thanks to all the co-authors!
McGill University, Institute of Parasitology
is hiring. Great opportunity.

Yeah! Leigh @leighknodler.bsky.social is in da place!! 🤩
Follow, follow, follow!
This set of mutants strains lacking different combinations of Salmonella Effector proteins is innovative…
Will be VERY useful for the Salmonella research field…
