Nice experience at The Conduit discussing the impact of climate change on vector-borne diseases. Many thanks to all involved in the organisation, my fellow panelists @charlottekilpo.bsky.social @samiasaad.bsky.social @mcdonnell.bsky.social @ellenthoen.bsky.social and the UK Pasteur foundation

📢 Over 479 WHO research centers call out the global freeze on health funding in The Lancet. This threatens equity, science-based policy, and lives. The Institut Pasteur stands with @who.int : health must remain a global, inclusive, and rights-based priority 👇 www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Great science yesterday at the @ibeidlabex.bsky.social meeting at ENVA at Maisons Alfort with fantastic talks from our guest @drrachellowe.bsky.social and many others! @salehlabparis.bsky.social @fernando-batista.bsky.social @pasteur.fr @anses-fr.bsky.social @inserm.fr @ap-hp.bsky.social

Daniel's paper is now published in @jcellsci.bsky.social, great experience with @reviewcommons.org 😀 Want to know everything tubulin assembly in trypanosome flagella and other microtubules? Here is the link: journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

New postdoc positions with a number of exciting epidemic modelling projects opening in our Unit at @pasteur.fr in beautiful Paris. Deadline for applications: 26th June. research.pasteur.fr/en/job/postd...

📢📢📢 Klaxon call for all cilia enthusiasts 📢 📢📢! Registrations still open + free. There are still spots for a few posters. Come along its London calling. Also this year we will have a special cilia imaging session organised by Kirsty Wan @micromotility.bsky.social www.ucl.ac.uk/child-health...

Honoured to have been introduced today by former lab member @ebertiaux.bsky.social at the annual Microbiology day of New Aquitaine. My first talk in a (former) church!

The End! Thanks all for joining us🙌🏻🙌🏻 Hope everyone enjoy this amazing week💚💚 #ChoanoCon2025

I had an excellent time at Choanocon in Paris meeting old friends (some who I had never met in 3D!) and making new ones. Congratulations to @thibautbrunet.bsky.social and team for some excellent organising. There was a squeaky pig, there were baguettes, there were weird bugs, the people were happy.

Fantastic #ChoanoCon2025 meeting with choanoflagellates and multiple fascinating protists! Meeting again choanoflagellate legend Barry Leadbeater 27 years later was emotional! And awarding a baguette for best talk was something 😂 Many thanks to @thibautbrunet.bsky.social for perfect organisation 👏👏👏

I will be recruiting new postdocs with start dates end 2025 - early 2026. If you'd like to work at the Pasteur Institute in the heart of Paris surrounded by amazing scientists, reach out to discuss possible projects on SynBio / Bacterial Immunity!

Please consider applying for a post doc in our lab if you have bioinformatics and wet lab skills, and are interested in parasites! elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

Check out our latest issue to read a Q&A with @thibautbrunet.bsky.social, who studies the evolutionary origin of animal morphogenesis at the Institut Pasteur. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Postdoc position in my lab: investigating how the microtubule motor protein dynein-2 works in cilia. Here's dynein-2 at work translocating microtubules - how is this activity regulated? How does dynein-2 malfunction in disease? Find out more and apply: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

Exploring the chromatin proteome of Trypanosoma brucei repetitive elements (telomeres, centromeres, 70bp repeats, 177bp repeats) using TALEs. Another great collaboration with @allshire-lab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 We’ve uncovered a key player in malaria parasite cell division—meet PfAnchor, the first apicoplast-specific dynamin adaptor protein! Check the thread below 🧵for more details. #U_ExM #Malaria #Apicoplast www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited for an inspiring meeting in France 🇫🇷 on #cilia and #centrosomes! The German #cilia community is en route—let’s connect and share science!

We support the scientific community - basically we're the good publisher who gives back which is why you should submit papers to our journals rather than supporting share holders!

🔥 Open postdoc position in human inflammation-driven control of infection! 🔥 Join me at the University of Geneva, Switzerland this summer as I’m moving my Wellcome-funded research activity to the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Medicine! (1/5) Please share!

Dear cilia researchers, join us in the heart of the beautiful Vosges mountains to share your latest findings! This year, partnership with @for5547.bsky.social and keynote lectures by @micromotility.bsky.social and @mick-lab.bsky.social Registration is now open www.cfc2025.conferences-pasteur.org

📣Thrilled to announce that the registration for the 8th annual Czech #Cilia #Meeting (17 June 2025, #Brno) is NOW OPEN: 🪧https://forms.gle/wkooViZtBGxvVASNA 👩‍🔬INVITED SPEAKER: Ruxandra Bachmann-Gagescu ⏱️Registration deadline: 17 May 2025

Did you know… It’s free to publish in Journal of Cell Science – there are no submission charges, page charges or colour fees. We also plant a tree for every peer-reviewed article we publish🌳 For details, visit our website: journals.biologists.com/jcs/pages/re...

🌍🔬 📣 Please spread the word! How can cell biology shape a more resilient planet? Virtual registration still open for @embo.org Workshop - Cells 4 Climate Resilience meetings.embo.org/event/25-cli... 🗓️ Deadline: April 11 🎥 Watch the teaser youtu.be/8eMJ91udHDs @cells4planethealth.bsky.social

Creating an asymmetric heart: @tbonnely.bsky.social @audreydsg.bsky.social @meilhacsigolene.bsky.social &co identify Notch3 as a novel asymmetric factor in lateral plate mesoderm that acts as a genetic modifier of NODAL to regulate #heart #morphogenesis @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/42q6H4L

Malaria parasites are an extreme example of ribosome heterogeneity. But how do they control which ribosomal RNA to express when? Check out this mountain of work led by @ju-couble.bsky.social with @tizvignolini.bsky.social @jessmbryant.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Great pitch for why to submit, review & write for @jcellsci.bsky.social by @drmichaelway.bsky.social - for the cell biology community, by the cell biology community💪! And great to see on screen the ECR best paper award launched in the late and much missed David Stephens’ name! #WeNeedMoreDavids

Happy moments ahead of Mark Carrington special symposium tomorrow @uniofcam.bsky.social

Out today: Exciting intermediate between endosymbiont and organelle identified! Endosymbionts in Angomonas deanei lost nearly all bacterial cell division genes. Instead, we identified a host-encoded protein, ETP9, that became specialized for endosymbiont division. 1/2 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Nous avons aujourd’hui l’occasion unique de construire cette #Europe de demain que Stefan Zweig a tant regretté de ne jamais voir advenir. Une Europe qui ne soit pas seulement un marché, mais un véritable foyer intellectuel et scientifique... #esr

New great paper in Developemental Cell by Nathalie Delgehyr and collaborators in Nathalie Spassky's lab on the action of actin-based cytoskeleton on the the nucleus in multiciliated cell differentiation. #cilia www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Superb piece of work!

🚨Job alert! Our IBEID partner Ivo Gomperts-Boneca is hiring a Project Manager to coordinate an #ERC synergy project AI4AMR 🦠 AI, deep learning & interdisciplinary science to accelerate the discovery of new #antibiotics against resistant #bacteria www.labexibeid.fr/offres-emplo... 📍@pasteur.fr

Brilliant work with unprecedented level of resolution of the trypanosome axoneme!

The symposium to celebrate Mark Carrington's career is coming soon. You have until 15th to book in. A great day of science, particularly if you are excited about kinetoplastids! And a day of celebration.

The VEuPathDB survey asked users to estimate the impact on their lab's productivity (from 0-100) if VEuPathDB resources were to disappear altogether. We also asked them to describe the impact. ✏️The infographic lists a few key themes that emerged from nearly 1500 comments!

Exciting opportunity!

Cilia talking to each other! 🔊

Thanks to a new mass spec pipeline for analysis of the #tubulin tail, the team of Julia Chamot-Rooke and Mariette Matondo revealed a few surprises for #trypanosome beta-tubulin: -a new glutamylation site -far less exhaustive detyrosination Preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Stripping mammalian cells was an exciting experience 😉 Transition fibres are even visible on the right image!
