More great news: Our collaborative work with @RolfsMicrobes, Tobi, @HongweiBran, @menze_group, @DQBM_uzh is now in @PLOSONE Lab Protocols! Discover our new automated pipeline for imaging bacterial infections in zebrafish 🐟 Grateful for this collaboration! journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

A new protocol for multispecies bacterial infections in zebrafish and their monitoring through...

The zebrafish Danio rerio has become a popular model host to explore disease pathology caused by infectious agents. A main advantage is its transparency at an early age, which enables live imaging of...

Thrilled to share that our paper on bacterial interactions is now published in @ISMEComms! Want to learn how to predict the competitive rank order in bacterial communities without the need to co-culture them? Check it out! @RolfsMicrobes #polymicrobial academic.oup.com/ismecommun/…

Predicting bacterial interaction outcomes from monoculture growth and supernatant assays

Abstract. How to derive principles of community dynamics and stability is a central question in microbial ecology. Bottom-up experiments, in which a small

Are you studying #polymicrobial interactions? #Bacteriophages? Competition/Cooperation of two or more species? Use my new standardized device for your experiments. Coming soon... Thanks to the @UZH_en Innovation Hub for funding.

I’m so excited that my very first manuscript is on bioRxiv now (together with @RCAllen42 and @RolfsMicrobes) and that I can present that work today at the wonderful #ISME18 conference (poster 497)! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Negative interactions and virulence differences drive the dynamics in multispecies bacterial...

Bacterial infections are often polymicrobial, leading to intricate pathogen-pathogen and pathogen-host interactions. There is increasing interest in studying the molecular basis of pathogen interac...
