Outstanding candidates are invited to apply for independent group leader positions in any of the 12 scientific departments on its campus in Paris, France. Institut Pasteur is a non-profit private foundation dedicated to fundamental, interd

Recently, it has been demonstrated that inherited symbionts may protect their hosts from certain pathogens. Such protective phenotypes are potentially beneficial in terms of host fitness, and thus could aid symbiont establishment. This pred

Ael Hardy Has anyone successfully performed proteomics (LC-MS) on whole phage particles (not bands from SDS-PAGE gels)? Looking for alternative protocols as the one I have been trying has given me a hard time. — @ael_hardy, via Twitter
