So many friends on the same paper ! Avengers, assemble! Congratulations team on a great study

Thrilled to share the first paper from the lab, out now in Molecular Cell! A wonderful collaboration with @thurstonlab.bsky.social bridging Salmonella host-pathogen interactions and regulatory genomics - two of my favourite things in one story. www.cell.com/molecular-ce... 🦠 🧵1/10

The 2026 UK Cellular Microbiology Network Meeting is approaching fast! Submit an abstract until May, 12th and join us June, 22nd/23rd in Belfast! Exiting keynote speakers and opportunities for early career researchers from the UK, Ireland and beyond to share their work. www.ukcellmicro.org

The UK Cellular Microbiology meeting was an incredible success this year! A huge thank you to all the brilliant speakers, poster presenters, and attendees who made this such a dynamic and inspiring event! See you all next year!

Dear UK cell micro attendees, we’re looking forward to seeing you at King's Bush House in just a few hours! We’ve been told that IDs are no longer required. Looking forward to a great day of cool science and catching up! Looks like the sun will join the party! 😎 #UKCellMicro2025

100% @vintorraca.bsky.social ‘s brilliant work! I got to (re)learn gram staining along with the students 🤓

What a fantastic trio! @codendall.bsky.social, David Fear and I, at our host-microbe interactions lab practical today! Glad to hear today that the students really enjoyed the microbiology lab work we proposed!

Got anyone that you would want to banish to rainy London then sweltering Singapore with a risk of giving themselves a shigella infection? Exchange program PhD Project with me and Vincenzo Torraca on page 10 #zebrafish at @astar-idlabs.bsky.social www.kcl.ac.uk/study-legacy...

Great opportunity for prospective PhD students! Join my lab at KCL and Stefan Oehlers lab at A*STAR to help us dissect how certain bacteria establish infections that are difficult to eradicate in vivo! Project 4.1 of the project catalogue, page 10 Deadline to apply: 23rd February!

Team work makes the dream work! We launched a new micro course and thanks to @vintorraca.bsky.social’s amazing energy and creativity, we got an innovative teaching award (which ironically looks like a petri dish)! Big thanks to Dave Fear (cut in half) for all his support and all our colleagues !
