🦠 Webinar On Demand: Unveiling the Secrets of Predatory Bacteria! 🦠 Discover the fascinating world of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, a predatory bacterium that invades and consumes other gram-negative bacteria from within. Join us for an insightful webinar where Dr. Simon Caulton from the University of Birmingham will reveal groundbreaking research on the molecular mechanisms of this unique bacterium. Learn about the newly identified mosaic adhesive trimers (MATs) and their role in bacterial predation. 🔬 In this webinar, you will: - Understand the significance of MATs for B. bacteriovorus. - Explore how these MATs were characterized using advanced structural and biophysical techniques. - Discover why Twist Bioscience Clonal Genes were crucial for this research. - Gain insights into how predatory bacteria bind to prey cells. 📺 WATCH NOW and dive into the world of predatory bacteria: https://lnkd.in/gtRRp8AD

Crémant and smiles to farewell my PhD student Candy L. Steffen Steffen! Good luck and all the best for your future. This event also marked the acceptance of our STAR Protocol paper of applying BRET to measure protein interactions in cells, with lead authors Carla J. Duval and Candy L. Steffen.

Earlier this month, we attended the International Spatial Biology Congress 2024, where the significance of spatial biology in drug discovery and development was a key focus. In our latest blog, we provide an overview of the discussions, highlighting the opportunities that spatial biology offers in modern drug discovery and development, as well as addressing the challenges and future directions for the field. 📕 Read the blog at https://lnkd.in/eRkcxD4R #spatialomics #drugdiscovery

In our Grantee Spotlight Interviews, AFAR’s recent grantees share their vision for their AFAR-supported research, in their own words. This month, we are pleased to share Grantee Spotlight Interviews with the 2023 Glenn Foundation for Medical Research and AFAR Grants for Junior Faculty recipients: The next recipient is Qinchuan Wang, PhD: On his 2023 Glenn Foundation for Medical Research and AFAR Grants for Junior Faculty Award Dr. Wang, of The Johns Hopkins University explains: “My research interest lies at the intersection of basic biology, where nature's intricacies captivate me, and translational science, where I hope to bring tangible health benefits through my findings... Think of genes as individual chapters in the story of life. Some chapters (genes) are very similar from one species to another, including in humans. By changing certain chapters in these animals, we can see how it affects their aging process, such as becoming frail. Our ultimate goal is to understand this story better, hoping it can help us discover new ways to age healthily in humans.” Read more about what inspires Dr. Wang’s AFAR-supported research in his Grantee Spotlight interview here: https://ow.ly/43cH50RYxLx

The 2024 Single Cell Symposium, organised by Instituto Nacional de Câncer, in collaboration with Wellcome Connecting Science Learning and Training, brought together over 100 participants from across Latin America and beyond. This unique event focused on the latest advancements in single-cell genomics, addressing regional health challenges while fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange.🔍🔬 By uniting researchers from countries including Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Peru, the symposium is playing a crucial role in building local capacity and strengthening the scientific infrastructure to accelerate research in the region.🌍🤝 🌟 Discover how this event is empowering sustainable training solutions and advancing single-cell research: bit.ly/3D1wRRn #ImpactBeyondTheTraining #SingleCellGenomics #ScientificCollaboration #LatinAmericanScience #GenomicsTraining

I am glad to see that finally spatial biology in Europe is moving forward. Thank you European Society for Spatial Biology (ESSB) for organizing this meeting. I will be there presenting our spatial biology solutions for #Alzheimer's and #Parkinson's disease. ariadne.ai ag #neurodegenerative #spatialbiology #spatialtranscriptomics #spatialproteomics

Building collaborations: the ICGEB Special Programme with South African HDIs - in partnership with Department of Science, Technology and Innovation. Ayoola Isaac Jegede from Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University visited #ICGEB Cardiovascular Biology Group in Trieste led by Serena Zacchigna, to begin collaborative work on his CRP Research. ℹ️ https://lnkd.in/er4iKhG7

I am thrilled to announce the publication of our article, "Borrelia PeptideAtlas," in Nature Scientific Data today. I believe this work will significantly contribute to Lyme disease research, particularly in advancing our understanding of Borrelia biology. https://lnkd.in/gP-amuWU
