🙏🏻 Roberto for this beautiful & inspiring piece 👏 Monod, Jacob, Luria etc said that Existentialism was the only honest philosophical choice for scientists. Instead, I growingly feel also oriental wisdom & its emphasis on non-dualism as the right way to go journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

Asking a question | Journal of Bacteriology

The initial idea of this essay dates back to several years ago, perhaps more than I care to admit. In his role as co-director, George O'Toole asked me to give a lecture in the Woods Hole Microbial...

Super excited to share the latest pre-print from the Shaffer lab - we mechanistically characterized asymmetric architectural features that enable DNA substrate selection and trans-kingdom conjugation through the cag T4SS. I'm so proud of my amazing team! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I am so excited to share our latest work from the Shaffer Lab! In this manuscript, we describe how the gastric bacterium Helicobacter pylori stimulates STING signaling via cag T4SS-dependent mechanisms. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Helicobacter pylori provokes STING immunosurveillance via trans-kingdom conjugation

Recognition of foreign nucleic acids is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism by which the host detects microbial threats. Whereas some intracellular bacterial pathogens trigger DNA surveillance...
