Congratulations to @hannahvpye.bsky.social @lizzicoy.bsky.social and Claire Hill for winning poster prizes. The symposium was organised at @quadraminstitute.bsky.social

Congratulations to the winners of the Microbial Genomics prizes at the Functional Multi-Omics Symposium organised by @yaasircheema.bsky.social. Best Poster Prize: Claire Hill Runner-up Best Poster Prize: Lizzi Coy Communication Prize Winner: Hannah Pye

All set for @microbiologysociety.org Champion event at @quadraminstitute.bsky.social

Did you know E. coli has 525 adhesin genes across 102 systems? That “sticky” secret is what makes it so dangerous, from UTIs to foodborne outbreaks. A really nice work by scientists from @quadraminstitute.bsky.social and collaborators @Uwr Poland @BTU Germany open.spotify.com/episode/78Am...

Interested in compound- microbiome interactions, and how they affect health? Join my lab at the Quadram Institute.

Prefer to hear about the latest, awesome science in podcast summary instead of reading the entire paper? Our @eh-hayles.bsky.social's @microbiologysociety.org paper has already been turned into a podcast episode! Listen here or read the paper here www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

Very interesting paper, how viral mutants might have strategically spread and survived. Thanks you Eleanor for very important insight about this massive data.

happy Transposon Day @yaasircheema.bsky.social and co :)

Are you feeding your “Friend or Foe” present in your gut? Very interesting study how high fat diet favours one type of bacteria. A just 5 min podcast of the paper on Spotify and Apple podcast open.spotify.com/episode/7vNf...

Excited to share our new paper! We show how Bilophila wadsworthia uses clever metabolic tricks to thrive in the gut — with links to high-fat diet🦠🔬 📖 rdcu.be/eoI4o Published at @natcomms.nature.com with @springernature.com #Microbiome #GutHealth #Bilophila

"Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal has been an inspiring and active champion for science over many years, and we are deeply honoured that The Princess Royal will support our institute with her Patronage.” 💬 Our Director and Chief Executive Officer Professor Daniel Figeys

🍺 @pintofscience.uk 2025 starts tomorrow ! Here's where you can find our researchers talking about our food, health and gut microbiome research in pubs and venues across our fine city of #Norwich ➡️ buff.ly/YAcEOAu

Interested in #Salmonella #genetics and / or #phage ? - check out our newly published manuscript that implicates the reversible deletion of the wzy gene in S. Typhimurium (and likely other important Salmonella serovars) in evasion of phage predation journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

...or if you are a glutton for punishment...or just have a long commute...you might prefer this extended version with all the details (17 minutes) podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/r...

Prefer a more accessible form of our newly published manuscript? The inimitable @yaasircheema.bsky.social has made this 5 minute podcast...with some AI magic podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/r...

🆕 Vacancy! We are looking for a Group Leader in Functional Microbiome Research to join the laboratory of Professor @dfigeys.bsky.social 💷 Competitive 🗓️ Apply by 28 May 2025 ➡️ buff.ly/Kef1N76

We have an open PhD position (deadline 14th March) in my group at QIB, Norwich, UK: buff.ly/1zRakR6 This might be of interest for researchers who want to understand gut microbial evolution, and how this changes when the human host is sick. Please RT.

Very proud of postdocs Josie and Zongting for presenting their algae-bacteria engineering work @microbiologysociety.org annual conference. Papers soon to follow! 🧪🧫

Superb end of the day with Fleming Prize Lecture by @delafuentelab.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org #Microbio25

Apparently it can be predicted from your microbiome with 96% accuracy if one is a coffee drinker or not using machine learning. #Microbio25 #coffee #Liverpool
