🎉 Excited to Share Our Latest Publication in Nature Communications 🎉 After three years of dedicated research and collaboration with University of Warsaw, Institut Pasteur and Max Planck Institute for Biology, our team at Malopolska Centre of Biotechnology at Jagiellonian University has made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of phage evolutionary biology, recently published in Nature Communications. This project not only highlights the power of teamwork and leadership but also underscores the importance of innovative computational approaches in fundamental research. Our study delves into the intricate world of bacteriophages, exploring the phenomenon of protein modularity, i.e., proteins consisting of distinct building blocks that can evolve and recombine, enhancing functional and genetic diversity. Using a large scale computational approach, our team has produced an extensive mapping of the phenomenon of protein modularity onto functional diversity. Our research suggests that bacteriophages constantly shuffle protein domains in the process of adaptation to bacterial hosts. This phenomenon is particularly striking in proteins that play an important role in the interaction with bacterial hosts like receptor-binding proteins, endolysins and various replication proteins. Our work lays the groundwork for the rational design of synthetic phages with tailored functionalities. This has immense therapeutic potential, especially in the realm of antibiotic-resistant bacterial treatments. It is also an important example of how fundamental understanding of evolution can harness insights to drive innovation in biotechnology, creating solutions that are as robust and versatile as nature itself. This achievement was made possible thanks to the relentless effort and expertise of our team, led by the talented Bogna Smug, for which I am profoundly grateful. It has been an enriching experience that reinforced my commitment to leading projects that not only advance our scientific understanding but also pave the way for practical applications in biotechnology.

UK Global Talent | Team Leader at BioRTC |Alzheimer's Association Research Fellow at University of Sussex, UK | Hon. Special Adviser for Science, Research and Innovation to the Executive Governor of Yobe State, Nigeria
The UN General Assembly Science Summit UNGA78 🧠🌍 Yesterday I spoke at the UNGA78 Science Summit session organised by the European Brain Council in New York. I shed light on the state and potential of brain research in Africa. Here are the key insights from the presentation: 🔹 Unique African Potential: The diversity of African flora and fauna, coupled with the vast human genetic diversity, positions African neuroscience as a pivotal player in addressing global health challenges. 🔹 Power of Collaboration: Collaborative efforts, both local and global, are the drivers of significant advancements. 🔹 Policymaker Engagement: Sustainable progress is rooted in harmonious collaboration with policymakers. The support of the Yobe State Government for our centre - BioRTC in Yobe State University, exemplifies the success of such collaborations. 🔹 Recommendations: A need for a rethink on our funding strategies, emphasizing in-continent research led or co-led by Africans, ensuring the active participation of local communities for the betterment of global science. African governments and philanthropists need to champion and invest in local, well-funded, open-access hubs and globally connected research leaders. Funders should not merely sponsor African scientists to train abroad. Instead, they should support them to establish themselves locally, harnessing their expertise for the enhancement of our global scientific ecosystem.

Quality always makes sound in research.

Excited to share our new paper in Nature Communications! We developed deformable active cell mimics to study behavior across packing fractions. Near confluence, we observed a reentrant jamming transition mediated by cell shape changes. Our findings reveal that cell shape and variability follow the same scaling as living epithelial systems, despite differing dynamical heterogeneities. After 3 rejections and 2 years of experiments, these experiments are closest to my heart. These experiments were done at JNCASR Bangalore, India in the Ganapathy lab. The simulations were carried out by Souvik in Prof. Saroj Nandi’s lab at TIRF, Hyderabad. Thanks to the entire team Check it out!

Our latest #acib #blogarticle is about #agnotology and its impact on science 👉 https://lnkd.in/du2pWvNw The term defines both, the study of culturally induced ignorance and the deliberate spread of misinformation to create confusion and doubt. How does agnotology hinder scientific progress and how can we combat its devious tricks? #sciencecommunication #InformedSociety #fraudprevention

After defending my PhD at Carnegie Mellon University, I decided to pivot my work towards the responsible application of machine learning (#ML) in #biology, and collaborated on many projects which furthered our collective understanding of how to do so, #safely and #responsibly. One example is the #DeepConsensus neural model, in collaboration with Gunjan Baid and team at Google Health and PacBio, which was eventually published at Nature Biotechnology in 2022, and integrated in PacBio's latest product line for genomic sequencing. This project also won the prestigious #Google #Science #Award in 2022 (Nature Paper: https://lnkd.in/gXAk5nZf). Other projects I had the privilege of contributing to at the Allen Institute include #analyzing #sex #bias in #clinical #trials in collaboration with Sergey Feldman and team (JAMA Paper: https://lnkd.in/gQeFhMtj), #SciSpaCy in collaboration with Iz Beltagy and team (#BioNLP Paper: https://lnkd.in/g4Y3xfXD), supp.ai in collaboration with Lucy Lu Wang and team (#ACL Demo Paper: https://lnkd.in/gkNAmsi8), #ontology #alignment in collaboration with Lucy Lu Wang and team (#BioNLP Paper: https://lnkd.in/gvD-jzNd). This year, as one of the R&D projects at Holistic Intelligence for Global Good, we're collaborating with a leading #biotech researcher in #Egypt who specializes in studying environmental stressors on plants, and I'm excited to use #ML to help #Egypt reclaim its lost glory as a main exporter of agricultural products. (Stay tuned for more info on this project.) In this post, I wanted to shed light on an exciting piece of literature which I learned about yesterday by researchers at Tel Aviv University which was published last year, entitled: 'Sounds emitted by plants under stress are airborne and informative' (Cell Paper: https://lnkd.in/gJEnWx4Z). The highlights of this groundbreaking research finding are: - Plants emit ultrasonic airborne sounds when stressed. - The emitted sounds reveal plant type and condition. - Plant sounds can be detected and interpreted in a greenhouse setting. If you're working in this area, let's chat. -- H/T Dr. Gamal Ammar for the pointer!

New research has used robotic video microscopes and computer vision techniques to analyze the characteristics of embryos from three species. By measuring their energy spectra, scientists discovered significant differences between species and correlations between various observable traits and developmental events. These findings have revolutionized the understanding of biological development and evolution, providing valuable insights into the changes that occur in an embryo's characteristics before and after each developmental event. This breakthrough research has the potential to improve the assessment of embryo development and enable data integration across different species. #England #BiotechnologyAndBiologicalSciencesResearchCouncil #UkResearchAndInnovation #UnitedKingdom #JamieMccoy #TechnicalUniversityOfMunich #Earth #Plymouth #UniversityOfPlymouth #LudwigMaximilianUniversityOfMunich
