I wrote a Blogpost for #FEMSmicroBlog about our recent publication in which we show that some T4SS effectors of Brucella can associate to outer membrane vehicles. Check it out!

Publication alert!
In our most recent publication we have shown that a subset of T4SS effectors of Brucella can associate to outer membrane vesicles! Could this be an alternative translocation/secretion mechanism?

Last conference of 2025 is in the books.
Lovely community and exciting science! #microsky

Check out our latest preprint, which developed from a chance finding during my PhD.

Third conference of 2025 is done. EMBO/FEBS Biology of host-pathogen interaction was a blast. Super interesting science and a super nice crowd! And what a venue!

Ich öffne mal einen Sammelthread mit den offensichtlichsten Ereignissen und Beweisen, dass die USA mit einer Demokratie nichts mehr gemein hat. Wer das verharmlost, trägt Verantwortung für alles, was noch passiert. Let's call a spade a spade! It's fascism!

👯 🎵 🦠Surviving Superbugs – A Dance To Resist🦠 at the Voltahalle last night was a spectacular performance, followed by an apéro with our professors and researchers.

We also welcomed the event's dancers to the
@biozentrum.unibas.ch today to see the origins of their dance in the lab!

Thanks to all!

The second conference of 2025 is in the books.
Lots of exciting science at The International Conference on Type 4 Secretion Systems in Nancy. My bluesky-less MSc student won the poster prize, I did get the second best talk. Full success!

I guess the conference views don't get much better than this!
BMSV2025 in Nordhoek, South Africa

Late afternoon office views from the @biozentrum.bsky.social in winter never get old.
