PhD opportunity to come and work in Glasgow, developing advanced tissue culture models to study Staphylococcus aureus colonisation and infection #microsky #PhD #DTPprogram Enquiries from potential applicants are welcome. www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate... www.findaphd.com/phds/program...

This is what happens when you chose to publish with @microbiologysociety.org. You are building the future of microbiology and giving a start to some incredible new scientists.

@microbiologysociety.org have been at this for a while on their innovative Open Research Platform, Access Microbiology. If you like the sounds of this, but your work isn't quite Nature level, send it to Access Microbiology www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour... #PeerReview #OpenScience #SciPub

Conferences with your friends are some of the best bits of the job. The job is not easy, but how very lucky to have such strong and opinionated women as my peers to conspire and collaborate with

En route to StaphGBI conference 🚂 Deeply regretting my lunch choices and lack of Greggs sausage roll 😏

Cheers to submitting my first major grant as a PI. Reviewers be kind...

When you work from home home and your mumsey keeps you well fed 🤤

📣Publication alert! Another great output from @metagymomics.bsky.social for his PhD. Looking at strain level genetic variation within members of the vaginal microbiome. #microsky @pauldcotter.bsky.social @calumwalsh.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Look at these beauties 😍 Fungus as galaxies 🌌 #MicroSky @diegodylanbianchi.bsky.social

Going to the @microbiologysociety.org annual conference in 56 days? Don't forget to get tickets to the social and networking events. Specific sessions for early careers, disabled and neurodivergent, and LGBTQ+ attendees. Tickets here- microbiologysociety.org/event/annual... #MicroSky #Microbio25

We're hiring! Two new tenure track fellowships available in AMR at the UCD School of Medicine and the Vet School www.ucd.ie/adastrafello...

It’s official: The Microbiology Society is on Bluesky!

Any peeps in the UK (to avoid import paperwork) got any mucin degrading bacteria I can get a colony of please? All species considered. Double points if they are nasal derived. #MicroSky #mucin

Anyone have a good paper looking at presence/absence rates of outer membrane porins in E. coli clinically? What is the occurrence rates of infections caused by E. coli lacking ompA/C/F? I've lots of papers showing the impact of omp loss on AMR and virulence, but how common is this? #MicroSky

DORA response to the Clarivate & eLife situation: sfdora.org/2024/11/25/c... #MicoSky

Anybody know where I could source one of these in the UK? #cellculture #microsky

Great to see them settling in and smashing departmental presentations 5 weeks into their PhDs. Super impressive.

That Easter weekend was much needed

Reviewer help please- looking for someone with expertise in using bioinformatic analysis of ribosomal protein (L7/L12) structures to predict B- and T-cell antigenic epitopes as potential vaccine targets

A little over a week left to apply for this PhD position in Glasgow. Come study how Staphylococcus aureus transitions from the nasal to bloodstream niche, and how the microbiome influences colonisation status

Come do a PhD with me at University of Glasgow. 3-year fully funded PhD for UK students. Friend to Foe: Colonisation as an Entry Point for S. aureus Infectionhttps://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/fully-funded-friend-to-foe-colonisation-as-an-entry-point-for-staphylococcus-aureus-infection/?p166823

This work highlights the importance of considering strain differences in our microbiome studies and nuanced role of the vaginal microbiome in preterm birth. (5/n)

At a gene level🧬there were strain differences for putative genes involved in cell surface protein synthesis and glycan utilisation (4/n)

Pangenome analysis 💻revealed that these genomes broadly clustered with delivery outcome (3/n)

We noticed that Lactobacillus jensenii dominant metagenomes were different between preterm and full-term birth in our recent dataset (DOI: 10.1038/s41522-020-00162-8). So we cultured & sequenced isolates🦠and recovered high-quality metagenome assembled genomes (MAGS) (2/n)

Thrilled to see our latest paper led by Sai @metagymomics.bsky.social published in #mGen with Tara McGuire, Elaine Lawton, Fionnuala McAuliffe, Douwe Van Sinderen, @calumwalsh.bsky.social, & Paul Cotter #MicroSky doi.org/10.1099/mgen... (1/n)

When you have emptied the bench several times over, so have to bring back your retired players 🙄
