@tessacrosbie.bsky.social‘s work helps identify the pathways through which pathogens, antibiotic-resistant microbes, and chemical contaminants enter freshwater systems 🦠🌊🧫. She’s honoured to learn from and work alongside an incredible group of female scientists here at UKCEH.

Happy #WomenInSTEM day! 👩‍🔬 The Molecular Ecology group at @ukceh.bsky.social comprises of many fantastic women👩‍🔬 conducting research on all things #molecular #ecology, #AMR, #microbes 🧬🦠🧫 Stay tuned as we introduce you to some them over the course of today ⬇️

We process our monitoring samples in a variety of ways, which include #phenotypic testing for #AMR, as well as using #molecular methods such as #qPCR and #sequencing to look for specific antimicrobial resistance genes 🦠🧬👩‍🔬🧫 #WAAW

Our Planet. Decoded. UKCEH makes sense of environmental complexity to power decisions that shape a better future. We don’t just examine our planet, we decode it – working out how to build a better tomorrow. 🎞️ youtu.be/s9fBwN5-kxM #UKCEH #EnvironmentalScience 🧪

@tessacrosbie.bsky.social is a Molecular Biology Research Assistant at UKCEH Wallingford. Tessa explores how wastewater and biosolids treatment processes impact microbial communities within receiving environments, with a particular focus on the development and spread of #AMR 🦠💩🌊

Happy World #AMR Awareness Week! #WAAW #WAAW25 At @ukceh.bsky.social our AMR researchers work on both #bacterial and #fungal AMR! We undertake research monitoring AMR in many different environments (water 🌊, wastewater 💩, air 💨, soil 🌱 & plants 🌿), which means we get out in the field a lot!

Welcome to the new UKCEH Molecular Ecology group Bluesky page! We are a research team, primarily based in Wallingford, working on all things #molecular 🧬, #microbes 🧫, #eDNA 🌊 & #AMR 🦠! Stay tuned as we introduce our researchers & to find out more about our work🧬🧪
