Hallo to all of you excited by imaging- there will be a great event on March 20th at #InstitutPasteur. Thanks to Gael Moneron, @NathalieAulner , @jytinevez for co-organzing! Also, great opportunity to test microscope systems during the week!

What is a TID? and why is it important for E. coli's chromosome?

Jennifer Ann Black #USPRibeirãoPreto covers a #preprint from the #Koszul lab #InstitutPasteur in which a higher-resolution adaptation of #Hi-C is used to study the chromosome in E. coli over smaller distances.

This goes to everyone who would like to learn more about topnotch optical microscopy! Fun hands-on course with great lectures at #InstitutPasteur... still time to inscribe yourselves- plz RT! #PAFM is back after a two-year break 🤩🌈🔬🧫🪛

To continue our celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Louis #Pasteur we interviewed Professor #PascaleCossart - Queen of #CellularMicrobiology & previous Head of the Bacteria-Cell Interactions Unit at #InstitutPasteur 👑

In this interview she discusses some of her seminal work that unveiled how #Listeria invades cells & evades #hostdefences. She also reflects upon historical advances in microbiology & ponders what is next for the field 🦠

This month is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Louis #Pasteur - renowned for establishing #vaccinology, #GermTheory & #Pasteurisation! To celebrate, our Editorial Board member Serge Mostowy, who was previously based at #InstitutPasteur , discusses Pasteur's legacy that still influences our response to modern medical crises, such as the #COVID19 pandemic & #AntimicrobialResistance

Hi mastodon community! 👋 Here comes my #introduction.

I am a #MSCA postdoctoral researcher in the Microbial Evolutionary Genomics lab, led by @epcrocha at the #InstitutPasteur in Paris. 🦠

My research focuses on the study of #plasmids 🧬 , mainly on their mobility mechanisms. I am also interested in their #evolution, #epidemiology and interactions with other mobile genetic elements (#ICEs, #IMEs, #phages,...) and their host.

Open for discussions, feel free to contact me!

#introduction:

I'm a #microbiologist with BSc & PhD in #biochemistry and biomedical sciences (Universidade do Porto, Portugal).
After a postdoc in the Pascale Cossart lab at #InstitutPasteur (Paris), I'm now repeating the experience at #INRAE (Jouy-en-Josas).

Common thread of my career: #Listeria monocytogenes!

Whether the bacterium itself or its not-so-good effects on its human host... I just love this damn bug 🥰

Looking forward to being a member of the #ScienceMastodon community!
