2026 seemed to be the summer of #phage in the press 🎥 and we've been happy to participate This is a good way to get the message out there about phage #therapy and we're definitely noticing increased interest The Boss is scheduled for a couple more of these interviews. We'll keep you posted 😎

If you look far on the right, you can easily see the flopsweat of someone who's trying to remember what the hell he normally does with his hands Anyway, thanks A LOT to the @isvm-society.bsky.social for the award Wouldn't have been possible without this AMAZING team

We’re happy to introduce phageFACTor (Functional Annotation and Curation Tool) 👩‍💻Developed by Tanaïs Moreau, our most recent PhD candidate, and building on Phold, we were able to improve annotation of prophage genes by as much as 50% 🧬 You should check it out github.com/TMs-code/pha...

In this example, we're showing the improvement in the percentage of annotated genes from prophage "Maintenon" from Clostridium innocuum (doi: 10.1186/s40168-023-01541-x) using the phageFACTor pipeline

Once again, sharing part of the discussion that we had at the BBH about an interesting paper This time, it was this work performed at US San Diego about antibiotic/phage interaction in a single patient If you're interested, we've got a thread for you!! 🧵 #Phage #Phagesky

"Meanwhile, researchers continue to confront molecular details of such byzantine complexity that some of them are abandoning hope of any theoretical understanding, concluding that only AI can sort it out—not by offering understanding but by replacing one black box with another"

I really dislike that I feel like I have to "stick up" or whatever for a reprehensible human being like Watson (maybe that's on me and I should just keep quiet) BUT, repeatedly seeing the man described as a failure is CRAAAAZY revisionism and a serious case of "what have you done for me lately"

TL,DR We had a good time visiting some of our Portuguese colleagues this week, where we talked #phage and ran into some old and new faces Our visit had it all: good science, good food and even an unexpected seismic drill You can read all about it on this thread 🧵

Next time someone asks me if I'm enjoying my time at @pasteur.fr I'm just gonna show them this flyer that I got on my inbox today They're announcing the presentation of a new flow cytometer like it's Bad Bunny dates or something This place is run by nerds and I love it so much 🤓🤓😍😍

#meettheteam A lot of the work for a research lab is not ACTUALLY performed on the bench, that's why it helps to have a good administrative assistant!! At the BBH we're lucky to have Eric Figueroa-Acosta helping us out with the (many) administrative tasks needed for the daily functioning of the lab

Look who showed up at our lab today 👀 None other than @joshuasweitz.bsky.social and Jérémy Seurat We had a mini reunion with some of the authors in our recent Nature comm paper (sadly missing Sophia, one of the lead authors) Thanks for the visit, exciting things coming from our collaboration!!

#meettheteam Today you get to meet one of our PhD candidates, Ngoc-Minh-Chau Nguyen She's been with the lab for >2 years, working on developing in vitro models to study bacterial infections in the lung. If you've got questions about cell culture or fluorescence microscopy, she's your person!!!

Today we're celebrating! Summer is here and it came with a "Groot" grant from @pasteur.fr for Nicolas Dufour (pictured left and who may have hurt his finger during grant-writing by the looks of it) and Quentin Lamy-Besnier (on the right with the cool artsy shirt) Congrats to both of you!!
