It's such a great honor and a wonderful opportunity to receive this starting grant from the @frm-officiel.bsky.social! Very excited to become a PI at @ipbstoulouse.bsky.social. None of this would be possible without the support of my students, mentors, and peers. This is only the beginning!🚀

New pre-print in the lab! Beautiful work by Francisco Garcia-Rodriguez in collab with @kamovalenz.bsky.social and @joaquinbernal.bsky.social : when macrophages are provided with specific nutrients, Salmonella can bypass its requirement of the T3SS to replicate, a process that occurs within the SCV
