Yesterday we had not one, but two PhD defenses! @jburgaya.bsky.social and Hannes held their own against the though questions from their examiners and are (provisionally) done with their PhD. We also had a pleasant surprise, with Judit winning the Infection Biology PhD prize! Congrats to both!

We are very happy to report that the 3rd and 4th PhD theses from the lab have been submitted!
This time we had a “tale of two theses”: @jburgaya.bsky.social had her thesis 99% ready more than a week before the deadline (!), while Hannes preferred to wait until just before it was due ☕
Congrats!

I arrived early and I thought I was at the infamous tumblr conference (then a small city of people materialized, which is insane)

We even got the press office to take this lovely photo of the three main authors :) Quite nice that we got it published on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science!

Last week Bamu successfully defend her PhD dissertation from the though questions of her two examiners: Katharina Schaufler and Marius Vital. Congratulations to her for pulling this off as our first hybrid dry- and wet-lab PhD student! That is no small feat indeed!

I found this when we moved our lab at the University of Florence, possibly an even older release?

I'm in awe at the fact that Bamu managed to submit her PhD thesis with a whole full weekend to spare! Looking forward to her defense in January 🎓

We used in-vitro laboratory evolution to "stress test" the next generation class of antibiotics based on antisense oligos ("asobiotics"). Head over to our new preprint to find out more!

Last week a small delegation of PhD students from our lab (Judit, Hannes, and Hien) attended the @helmholtzhzi.bsky.social PhD assembly in Würzburg. It featured a mention to the concept of "night science" first coined by the late François Jacob.

Do you want to run a microbial GWAS but are put off by installing a dozen different bioinformatic tools, are unsure about best practices, and how to transform the list of threshold passing variants into a neat annotated table?
Then we have just the thing for you!

We had an eventful month of April, with
Dilfuza submitting her PhD thesis (with one day to spare!), and we sadly said farewell to
@mulkern.bsky.social, who moved to Oxford to work with CraigMacLean. Oh, and we just submited revision for the SARS-CoV-2 epistasis manuscript 🥵

So, we did manage to get to the finish line, Hannes even 8 seconds below the 2 hours psychological barrier! And of course thanks to those who donated some money for cancer research
