Follow our lab @karinaxavierlab.bsky.social to continue hearing about research on quorum sensing and gut Microbiota our training opportunities such as our Symbnet @SymbNET summer school on host microbe interactions from the 2025 gimm.idloom.events/phd-summe…

Now we are one... starting a new adventure!
GIMM - Gulbenkian Institute for Molecular Medicine - has just been created by merging IGC and iMM.
On the verge of discovery

RNA world of Prevotella, now Segatella, gut bacteria unfolding! Includes an sRNA essential for colonization.
Great work from the @StrowigLab. I am proud to say that three of my former students and postdocs (El Mouali, Tawk, Ponath) contributed to it.

Our preprint "Full Factorial construction of microbial communities" was peer reviewed. We describe a simple protocol for assembling all possible combinations of up to 10-12 different microorganisms using standard lab equipment. Hopefully useful to others!

Check out this paper from Sarela @itqbnova and @TypasLab on how the effect of 30 drugs on individual members of the Microbiota, and how the effects can be different in monocultures or in community

If you are in Lisbon, come to the last beer hour @IGCiencia, to end this chapter while toasting for even better beer hours with GIMM to continue our wonderful scientific discussion in our patio! Thank you @phd_igc + all IBB students for all the great events!

Pls share: Microbial cell biology faculty position available at Ohio State University
Some go to yoga retreats I rather spend a week from breakfast to dinner thinking science in an amazing place like @bacnet2024. Now it is over and I spent a couple of hours at a cafe in Barcelona with a pencil and notebook sketching new experiments. Thank you TamMignot!
It is so fun to meet Alumni of our @SymbNET PhD Summer school on #HostMicrobeSymbioses. This time I met @MC_Tocora. And a especial treat was that Maria was the session chair for my seminar
Good things end fast. Here w/ @DapaTanja on the last day of @bacnet2024. It was great to catch up about the great new experiments she is planning for new her lab in Seville. We are happy here, but the swollen eyes reveal the lack of sleep!

Looking for a postdoc in Microbial Evolution? Come join the @gordoisabel1 lab at the Gulbenkian - Oeiras - Lisbon. Highly stimulating environment. Looking forward to great applicants, my lab is next door to Isabel, and we are excited for having new neighbors
Are you looking for a pos-doc? We just opened two positions to study bacteria evolution in the gut in Gordo's Lab at the Gulbenkian Institute ;)! See gimm.pt/jobs/postdoctoral-re…

The Goldberg lab is moving to @UCLA Human Genetics summer 2025!
Excited for new opportunities and collaborations. We will be recruiting at all levels to work on the evolutionary and population genetics of humans, our primate relatives, and the malaria parasites we share.

A major question in (marine) microbiology is "who eats what" – whether different heterotrophic groups utilize different pools of dissolved organic matter. Shira and Elena added different macromolecular pools to a natural community from the oligotrophic Eastern Mediterranean.

Ryuga Sugiyama's great experimental work on host range of an artificial symbiotic E. coli and natural Pantoea symbiont both mutualistic to the stinkbug Plautia stali is out! - Unexpectedly, E. coli was more host specific than natural symbiont
