Calling out to students studying in the EU!! If you are interested in completing your Masters thesis in phage biology topics and bioinformatics Fraunhofer IZI, drop me a message! We have space for one more! 😀

Congratulations to Rayhaan Pais for completing his Masters thesis in my lab Fraunhofer IZI. A 1.1 grade (1.0 is the best) from 2 external examiners LIMES Institute Bonn , without my influence, is a great result! Good job in the lab and on the thesis writing!

Hey science tweeps! I need a shaking plate reader that can cool and maintain a precise temperature between 15-20°C. Haven't been able to find one. Does anybody know of one? Thanks!

Great to have met everyone at the Molecular Microbiology dpt RUMM. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality! 😊

Great end to the Combatting Antimicrobial Resistance meeting in Berlin with closing remarks from the Bundesgesundheitminister Prof. Karl Lauterbach pointing out the importance of OneHealth and the need to work together against AMR! #WAAW 2023 #AMR #AntimicrobialResistance #WAAW #Phage

We are Happy to have you here for the #vom2023

#biofilms cause problems during infections, yet are often overlooked while studying the suitability of #phages for therapy.
Is #Pseudomonas phage Motto a good candidate as it is highly efficient in removing biofilms?

Finally! Our work on the #Vibrio cholerae filamentous #phage assembly protein g1p aka Zot (zonula occludens toxin) is out now as a preprint!

I started this work in 2015 as a postdoc & later contributed as co-supervisor of 1st author, Ma Long.

In wound infections, Pseudomonas aeruginosa often occurs together with Candida albicans. In this study, we investigated the effect of phages on a co-culture of bacteria & the fungal pathogen, focusing on the biofilm formed by both pathogens.

To develop phages for therapy, a detailed description of each candidate is needed. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutical potential of A. baumannii phage Phab24 by 1st author Liwei Liweiz, in a collaboration with Sebastian Leptihn

Finally met Jean-Paul Pirnay in person!
Had a great time with him and Bob Blasdel at the #DZIF phage meeting in Frankfurt! Hope we'll meet again soon!

Congrats Lydia and Sebastian Leptihn! It was not the smoothest ride especially during the pandemic but lots of hard work and patience paid off!!

This is my new workplace Fraunhofer IZI ! Excited to work with the Fraunhofer Society on translational phage research.

In this editorial we discuss some of the difficulties that have to be solved to make #phage therapy a clinical standard approach in the future.
