- Get ready for the best meeting in 2026!
- This one is for the best team and colleagues I could wish for! Thank you @pasteur.fr for having us and @embo.org for all the support. Congrats to all other new YIPs, very honored to join this amazing pool of scientists. @jessmbryant.bsky.social @tizvignolini.bsky.social @ju-couble.bsky.social
- Congratulations to the new cohort of 28 EMBO Young Investigators! They are joining an international network of more than 800 life scientists – Welcome! Read the press release here: embo.org/press-releases/twen…
- Reposted by Sebastian BaumgartenThere a is a joint call between @pasteur.fr and @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social for a mid career group leader position in AI and genomics (or molecular biology). Don't hesistate to spread the word if you know anyone relevant. research.pasteur.fr/en/call/mid-...
- Reposted by Sebastian BaumgartenJust uploaded our new preprint to @ecoevorxiv.bsky.social Multinucleate life really is everywhere...from deep sea forams to slime molds, intracellular parasites, and beyond. 🚀 We explore how scaling, ecology, & evolution intersect when many nuclei share a single cytoplasm. doi.org/10.32942/X2M...
- Our attempt to give multinucleate cells the spotlight they deserve (seriously, they’re everywhere), led by the fearless @mrosjac.bsky.social and with @Markus Ganter doi.org/10.32942/X2M... We’d love your feedback while this goes through the peer review process! #MicroEvoSky #ProtistsonSky 🧪🌏

- Reposted by Sebastian BaumgartenJune was a productive month: brought two things into this world, both of which were great collaborative efforts and about nine months in the making. Check out where we map P. falciparum genome architecture at high resolution with Micro-C here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- How does the malaria parasite regulate co-expression of genes? By recruiting them into transcription factories, courtesy of MORC et al. A fantastic team effort led by @jessmbryant.bsky.social with Jacques Serizay @singh-parul.bsky.social, @ju-couble.bsky.social @rkoszul.bsky.social

- As usual, fantastic science at #EMBLMalaria. Special thanks for the travel support from @pasteur.fr in the new EMBL-Pasteur initiative and the organization @lilianamancio.bsky.social @sturalph.bsky.social @events.embl.org
- Special shout-out to the presentations from our very own Selina Mussgnung and @thebeilab.bsky.social from the Institut Pasteur network in Dakar!
- Reposted by Sebastian BaumgartenVery happy to congratulate @fra-florini.bsky.social and Joe Visone for the publication of their recent work on antigenic variation by malaria parasites: rdcu.be/emjbn and an earlier version here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... Francesca will present some of this work next week at BioMalPar 2025.
- Reposted by Sebastian BaumgartenParasites need mitochondrial respiration to infect and spread. Effective anti-malaria and ani-toxoplasmosis drugs target respiratory complexes (e.g. atovaquone)! But how do the parasite complexes work and how do drugs inhibit them? Read Andrew Maclean and Alex Mühleip phenomenal work on this! 👇
- Reposted by Sebastian BaumgartenThe KnuepferLab is hiring! Our team is looking for a highly motivated, experienced molecular parasitologist to expand our group as a postdoctoral researcher at the RVC.

- Malaria parasites are an extreme example of ribosome heterogeneity. But how do they control which ribosomal RNA to express when? Check out this mountain of work led by @ju-couble.bsky.social with @tizvignolini.bsky.social @jessmbryant.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- And with a lot of new approaches for the parasite as well…. protein-DNA proximity labelling, quantitative ChIP-seq, microC, ….
- Reposted by Sebastian BaumgartenThe VEuPathDB survey asked users to estimate the impact on their lab's productivity (from 0-100) if VEuPathDB resources were to disappear altogether. We also asked them to describe the impact. ✏️The infographic lists a few key themes that emerged from nearly 1500 comments!
