We are excited to share our new study which talks about the unique anti-phage system. Please check out the article for more details. Thank you Debnath Ghosal and Sigal Ben Yehuda for this amazing opportunity. Thank you University of Melbourne and Pursuit team!
We recently discovered a brand-new (and unique!) anti-phage defense system in bacteria. Check out this Pursuit article from @Melbourne University featuring our recent work. Terrific effort from our PhD student Somavally!

Excited to share our new paper and honoured to contribute to this amazing research. Thank you Sigal Ben Yehuda, her lab and Debnath for this incredible opportunity.
We uncover a novel mechanism of aberrant cell division that compartmentalises phage infection.

📣 New paper alert! Just out in Cell Reports! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40644298/
Thrilled to share that we have discovered a brand-new anti-phage defense system! Bacteria have evolved various defense strategies (CRISPR etc) to counter phage attacks. We found a new one - fascinating and dramatic

Thanks @mgeaus.bsky.social for the opportunity to present my work and award. It was amazing connecting with experts in phages, plasmids, and transposons. Had a great time exchanging ideas and learning. Huge thank you to the organizers for putting together such an incredible meeting!
Grateful for the opportunity to deliver a keynote speech—my first-ever inaugural keynote!! But the real highlight was my student, Somavally, who won yet another Best Talk award for her outstanding presentation. Her phenomenal story will be out in the wild soon- stay tuned!
