Looking for a POSTDOC to work on jumbo phages (those with large genomes and fascinating cell biology), using our latest ASO technology (Gerovac M et al. 2025 Nature) to define RNA export mechanisms as well as to help advance phage therapy. Here's the job ad.

Attending a VIB conference on biotechnology in Leuven, Belgium. Beautiful place. And what’s particularly helpful is their pointing out the best beer bars in town right in their welcome remarks.

Nature Research Briefings are a really cool idea. Here's one describing our antimicrobial ASO technology to study phages, to appear in this week's print version of Nature. Gives a bit of background how we got there.

This is an important step in unraveling the path of antisense antibiotics (asobiotics) across the complex envelope of gram- bacteria and on to finding their mRNA targets. I hope Adam and Marco have enough energy left to expand this to many more species, including gram 😉

Excited to share something from my previous postdoc with @mgalactus, a collaboration with the @JoergLab using lab evolution to see how different bacterial species develop resistance to programmable antibiotics:

Gathering in the French senate to discuss the great potential of extracellular RNA. It’d be most interested to use it to find RNA transporters for organ-specific delivery in RNA medicine. Big thanks to Amy Buck and others for organizing this.
