Our lab @Uni_WUE focuses on gene regulation & virulence control in H. pylori and C. jejuni. Tweets by Cynthia (-CS) or the Sharma Lab (-Lab). All views our own.
Thrilled and honored to receive an #ERCCoG for our #bacRBP project to explore RNA binding proteins in bacteria.😀🥳Big thanks to my current and former lab members, my collaborators, mentors, many colleagues, and @ERC_Research panel & reviewers! @Uni_WUEbit.ly/ResultsCoG2021
ALT ERC CoG project: "bacRBP - Exploring the expanding universe of RNA binding proteins in bacteria".

Excited that our work "Pre-trained molecular representations enable antimicrobial discovery" has been published in @NatureComms !
Can we leverage unlabeled chemical structures to find new inhibitors of bacterial growth? The answer is YES

I am excited to announce several post-doc positions studying gene regulation and cell biology of spirochetes are available in the @NIH Biology of Spirochetes Unit, opening 2025 in Bethesda, MD @NIAIDNews! Join our team and work on the dynamic NIH campus: training.nih.gov/jobs/pdfi-0…
1/5 Big news from Aguilar Lab! Check out our first preprint! We’ve developed a new prostate organoid model to crack the mystery of E. coli prostatitis, a common, tough-to-treat infection in men. Our model reveals how these bacteria get in and thrive. #UPEC#Organoids#UTI
BREAKING NEWS
The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
A very warm welcome to Irene Beusch @pauletteoctopus, who just joined us at the Institute of Molecular Infection Biology @Uni_WUE to start her lab on #RNA splicing regulation! beuschlab.org
🚨See also her open call for PhD student positions: rb.gy/6432qj
Excited to share that I will be joining the #IMIB at the University of Würzburg @Uni_WUE to start my own research group this September! Our goal is to understand RNA splicing regulation across substrates and different environments.
🚨New paper from our lab on two #smallRNAs that impact flagella biogenesis and motility of the foodborne pathogen #Campylobacter out in @NatureComms . 👇 Many congrats and thanks to @FabianK6665 & @campy_bara for their great work! 😀 @Uni_WUE@grk2157@bayresq
A big thank you to everyone who made the joint #DGHMVAAM Conference 2024 in Würzburg such a success! 🌟🙏
We hope you enjoyed it & looking forward to see you all again at the @VAAM_Microbes 2025 Annual Conference in Bochum
▶️📅March 23-26, 2025

🚨🚚The #Bakteriopolis exhibition on the fascinating world of microorganism by @spp2389 & the Department of General Microbiology @tudresden_de is now in Würzburg! The container is open for the general public and can be visited from today until Tuesday. 😀👇@VAAM_Microbes@Uni_WUE
In a few hours, the 7th Joint @VAAM@DGHM Microbiology & Infection Conference will start in Würzburg! Looking foward to welcome everyone together with @OKurzai! It was a lot of fun to organize this with colleagues from Bayreuth @LuedersLab Dirk Schüler and Würzburg! 😀
