    Stoked to report in @nature the discovery of prokaryotic viperins, which naturally produce diverse anti-viral molecules ! After providing us with antibiotics, bacteria might become sources of novel anti-viral drugs. (1/9) nature.com/articles/s4158…

    Could not resist. Making that figure in 2019, I thought the newly uncovered diversity of antiphage systems was already incredible. We now know it was just the tip of the iceberg. I hope our new review will help people dive into this wonderful field. rdcu.be/dg3ql.

    I m one of the lucky few.i got an ERC starting grant 😱🥳As one of my mentors told me, this means that i now get to do the science of my dream which is collaborative, creative, interdisciplinary and inclusive. And now i get to build and make live my little utopia. ARGGGG😊

    The lab is moving to the @institutpasteur. A bit intimidating to run a lab where so many of my favorite scientists work/ed. But I'm thrilled to become a Pasteurian to launch new crazy scientific projects with everyone there. I'll try my very best to be up to the task.

    A bit lost with all the new anti-phage systems out there? We developed DefenseFinder, a tool to detect all known anti-viral systems in bacterial genomes and conducted a large scale analysis on the anti-viral arsenal of prokaryotes. See more below ! (1/9) biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

    Yesterday, i had the honor of becoming part of the first Scientific Council for the French President, among a group of 12 incredible scientists. A tad far from my 🦠, but hopefully will help a bit in fostering the role of science & knowledge in our society and democracy.

    Big milestone today. The first paper of the lab is out (the first for me as a senior author😱). Still feels crazy. Seemed like an appropriate time to also talk about the fantastic team we are building in Paris @MDMlab_Paris. Long live microbes and their viruses 🧫🦠🧬😍

    Hello world, we are very happy, as the first paper of our new lab has just been published @NatureComms. It’s about describing the anti-viral arsenal of bacteria and a tool we developed to detect all known anti-phage systems called DefenseFinder. nature.com/articles/s4146…

    What a great honor to receive a prize from the College de France, probably my favorite institution in France. Since 1530, its mission has been to teach top level science to the general public for free. I learned so much from the College since I was a teen. THANKS 😱😻🧬🦠🧫

    Bacteria and eukaryotes share immune mecanisms. We searched for bacterial antiphage systems in eukaryotic genomes and found thousands of hits. Exploring this conservation of antiviral systems led us to novel defense mechanisms in humans. Preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thread👇

    In a new preprint, we report that recently discovered anti-phages systems (Mokosh, Eleos, Lamassu…) have eukaryotic homologs. We harnessed this conservation to discover novel defense mechanisms in humans. @howmanyernest1 @gaofir @EnzoZ_P @AudeBer biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
