Best thing is to come back from ⛰️vacation☀️ to find a manuscript has metamorphosed into a published paper, so..

🚀 Check out our paper on hormone import⏬ into plant cells in @natplants.nature.com 🌱👇

I'm thrilled to share that I’ve been selected for the #ATIP-Avenir 2025 Young Investigator Programme to support my new research group at @ipbstoulouse.bsky.social for the next 5 years! 🧑‍🔬🔬🦠🤩
🎉🎉🎉 Big congrats to Kien Lam UNG, recipient of the 2025 #ATIP-Avenir award!
From decoding antibiotic resistance in M. abscessus to revealing plant hormone transporters in Nature, he is now launching a bold project on how sugar tweaks shape host–pathogen battles. Sweet science! 👏👏👏

Shout-out to @pierredupuy.bsky.social and colleagues!
Excited to share our latest study, where we uncovered a previously unknown bacterial defense system in M. #tuberculosis: effluxosomes — dynamic membrane clusters that coordinate resistance to multiple toxic metals.
