Very interesting talk by our invited speaker @patrick-pausch.bsky.social on how retron Eco 2 breaks tRNAs for antiphage defense!

Katharina presented at the annual @spp2330.bsky.social meeting in Rösrath (North Rhine-Westphalia):

Amazing talk by Joana Azeredo on how to target chronic biofilm infections using phage therapy.

Career & Industry session at the SPP 2330 Meeting with amazing talks from Birhanu Kinfu @biontech.bsky.social and @brochadolab.bsky.social. Both shared insights into their personal career paths, which were truly inspiring for our early-career scientists.

Clara Rolland on recent developments of the SPP 2330 Z-project! @leibniz-dsmz.bsky.social @dsmzd3.bsky.social

Looking forward to 3 exciting days of science at the 2025 annual SPP2330 symposium! @spp2330.bsky.social @dfg.de
