Have you wondered how foodborne bacteria might survive in ready-to-eat food factories? Well, you can find out how in our latest press release of research that will be discussed in detail at our Annual Conference in Edinburgh. microb.io/43GwLrz

Really excited to share my first preprint about the role of FakA in biocide tolerance 🏥🧫🔬🧬🖥️

Hoping to cheer up my tennis mad boy. He ended 2023 on a high, hitting a 1000 stroke rally with his coach. But 2024 has brought a neck muscle sprain and now tonsillitis and he's sad not to have made it back on court yet. Any advice Andy Murray Jamie Murray judy murray ?

Day 3 of #comparativegenomics Microbes, Microbiomes and Bioinformatics DTP week & Gemma Langridge taught us genome rearrangements are a another #variation to watch for in #bacterial #genomics . Emma Waters couldnt resist getting involved at last. Over to Eleanor Hayles & Alice Nisbet to lead your activity on Friday!

Claire Jenkins wrapped up day 1 of this Microbes, Microbiomes and Bioinformatics DTP training week by explaining how the wonderful team UK Health Security Agency's Gastrointestinal Bacteria Reference Unit do comparative genomics to investigate outbreaks to better public health. We are honoured we got a rare talk out of Claire #AcedIt

This year's new intake of Microbes, Microbiomes and Bioinformatics DTP students are enjoying getting stuck into Gemma Langridge's #comparativegenomics for week 4 of their bioinformatics training, with last year's students Alice Nisbet and Eleanor Hayles ably assisting #futurePIs

A very #proudPI day today - Cailean is the first PhD student through the Langridge Lab group! Cailean, it's been a real pleasure and you fully deserve this result today. Congratulations Dr!!

So pleased to see this out - it's been 7 years in the making!! Huge congrats to Heather for being awesome and sticking with me through this one. And big thanks to npj Antimicrobials and Resistance for supporting our paper to publication!

Yesterday we went for a paddle along the Rivers Wensum & Yare thanks to PubAndPaddle Norwich. Everything might hurt this morning, but a fun & mostly senere time was had by all, with ice cream & great food to help along the way. Also spotted some great wildlife including a seal 🦭

My S.capitis paper is finally here. It’s been a journey & I’m so happy to finally be getting my research out in the wild. Thanks to everyone for putting up with me…. But mainly Mark Webber Gemma Langridge john wain for your support

Reflecting on a fantastic first trip to Zurich to join Elisa's PhD committee. A beautiful location to hear about exciting science. Thank you for the invitation to speak University of Zurich and to AdrianEgli78 for hosting. Also wonderful to see Helena again!!

New preprint from us at Quadram Institute in collab with Oppilotech Ltd & Innovate UK, we used TraDIS-Xpress to determine the mechanism of action of a novel antimicrobial & mechanisms of synergy with other drugs. Great example of the power of functional genomics! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great advice 👇

It isn't easy to come back after having children and I'm so glad to have been a part of Heather's return to science - we are much richer for having you!

I'm excited to say i'm recruiting for a bioinformatics post-doc (3 yr) for my group at Utrecht University.

The project looks to advance precision risk assessment of foodborne pathogens utilising pan-genome graphs and machine learning.

Appreciate a RT!

The Surveillance for Enteric Fever in India (SEFI) results are out, demonstrating a very high incidence of typhoid in multiple urban sites across India. Congrats to Jacob John G Kang and team on this important study! nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

I'm thoroughly enjoying #microbio23 and have loved seeing the enthusiasm and passion for their science brought by Cailean, Steven Rudder Alice Nisbet and @goodolgab 🧬 Your face will be up here next year Eleanor Hayles 😉 Microbiology Society Quadram Institute

We are so happy to be back Microbiology Society #microbio23 . Our Cailean Carter (#376), Steven Rudder (#349) Alice Nisbet (#291) & Gab (He/Him) (#365) are ready to present their posters today. They would love chat to you about #rearrangments , long-read #metagenomics , & ecoli populations.
