Bacteriophage Lab of Institut Pasteur
@phagepasteur.bsky.social
Our team is studying bacteriophages that are viruses infecting bacteria. Since 2006, Laurent Debarbieux has reignited a research lab about phage therapy following the pionnering work of Félix d'Herelle started in early 20th century.
TL,DR We had a good time visiting some of our Portuguese colleagues this week, where we talked #phage and ran into some old and new faces
Our visit had it all: good science, good food and even an unexpected seismic drill
You can read all about it on this thread 🧵

This picture was taken right before The Boss' presentation at @gimmfoundation.bsky.social
We initially thought people were just a bit shy but, as it turned out, we were participating in the mandatory drills due to high seismic activity in the area 🤔
Safety first!!

We also visited Isabel Gordo's lab at @gimmfoundation.bsky.social (Oeiras) and ran into a familiar face, @martalourenco21.bsky.social former PhD candidate at our lab

Last week, part of our team was busy at Bioisi (U. of Lisbon @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social ), talking all things #phage and #prophage with our collaborator Filipa Vale

Finally, our (former) M2 student Camille Sivelle was in charge of the lab's main presentation, showing her results regarding mechanisms for establishment of viral resistance in bacteria
She did a very good job at explaining a somewhat complicated experimental setup and results
Congrats, Camille!!

We got to finish the whole affair (on a high note, if we may say so ourselves) with two oral presentations
First up, the boss was showing off about the lab's work and its people
Gut team this ..... lung team that ....... but none of that would be possible without his leadership!

Alejandro, from our "lung" team and who clearly forgot to take a photo with his poster, got a very interesting phone call during his flash talk
He presented some of the work that was recently published by our group on the effect of innate immunity cell populations on phage therapy

We started up with the postdocs, both of whom had flash talks and posters
Nandita Sharma from our "gut" team presented her results of competition between Citrobacter rodentium and E. coli
She'll also be showing this during a "work in progress" talk in early december so be on the lookout for that!

We had a blast at the Microbiology department days @pasteur.fr where we got to learn what other people in our department are working on 🤓
The group also got to show some of our work to the whole department ✌️

This week we're saying "bon voyage" to one of our PhD students (Quentin), who'll be leaving us for a few months, and an M2 student (Laura), who's finishing her internship
Good excuse to spend some quality time with the whole team outside the lab 😎
Thanks for the hard work!! You'll be missed

ENG - It's Postdoc appreciation week (PAW!!!) at @pasteur.fr 🥳
Currently, we have 2 postdocs at the BBH lab, Nandita and Alejandro
As early career researchers, they work in tandem with PhD candidates and master students while preparing for the next stage in their careers
