Finally back in the game! I am happy to have started my Postdoc with Bernie and Sandie Degnan, as well as Ben Schulz at UQ, Brisbane. Looking forward to lots of proteomics, sponges and the evolution of the animal self from a glycan perspective 🧽🍬

1/11 - With Karin Mitosch and Clément Potel + colleagues in Savitski lab and @typaslab.bsky.social @embl.org, I’m very happy to share our discovery of a hyper-promiscuous phage protein kinase (T7K) which broadly deactivates bacterial defenses! 🦠

My first post! Starting with a new publication together with @scottnichols.bsky.social.

Sponges, proteomics, protein models and self-recognition at the dawn of animals. 🧽
Happy to announce our latest paper! A fresh look at the sponge Aggregation Factor, a glycoprotein complex involved in self-recognition and adhesion. Previously thought to be sponge-specific, we report compelling structural links with proteins found in all animals! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
