- Reposted by Giusy MarianoE. coli is the leading bacterium causing death from AMR infections worldwide. If you'd like to explore approaches to exploit the DNA damage response as alternative antimicrobial, please apply to the following PhD studentship available in my lab starting October 2026: www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
- Reposted by Giusy MarianoOur latest CRISPR ring nuclease paper focusses on Csx15 - which seems to act as of a sponge as well as a canonical phosphodiesterase. Great work led by @haotianchi.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
- Excited to share our new study! Great fun working again with my good friend @stephenrgarrett.bsky.social — always a highlight! Huge thanks to fantastic co-authors @samkaytucker.bsky.social, @drandyjroe.bsky.social and our star technician Vojtech Pavelka. academic.oup.com/nargab/artic...
- Reposted by Giusy MarianoPhD opportunity (unfortunately UK home students only) to work on nanoparticles to combat AMR with @forganross.bsky.social and me in UoG. If you have a microbiology background and an interest in chemistry this would be a perfect project for you! Please share!
- Reposted by Giusy Mariano🚨 PhD opportunity! 🚨 Join us at St Andrews to study how multiple prophages shape bacterial behaviour & AMR. Co-supervised with @tatianadimitriu.bsky.social This is a competition-based EASTBIO PhD. Full details and the application link are in the advert 👇 www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

- 🚨PhD Opportunity Alert🚨 Join me, @suzieh.bsky.social and @walllabuoglasgow.bsky.social to investigate how environment shapes anti-phage defences & prophage–prophage conflict in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Apply here: www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate...
- Reposted by Giusy MarianoHow the twin-arginine translocase (Tat) system manages to transport folded proteins across membranes without any leaks? To answer this fundamental question we solved the first structure of TatB3C3 complex with bound cargo. Please check out new preprint! t.co/962Kj9pt6F
- Reposted by Giusy MarianoReally excited to share my first paper from the Whitney lab, alongside an amazing grad student, Polina. Here we identify a chaperone family required for the folding of a central domain of T7SS toxins, and solve the structure of the chaperone-toxin complex. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
- It was a really nice experience to give a talk at Northumbria University! Very happy to get to present our work on Zorya systems for the first time - A huge thank you to @emmseveri.bsky.social and (not on bluesky?) Ciarán Kelly and Darren Smith for the invitation!
- Reposted by Giusy MarianoReally excited to share this story from Jake in the lab! We have found bacterial protein toxins that can enter Gram positive bacterial cells without the need for a receptor resulting in broad spectrum antibacterial activity.
