Amazing science at the #SHIMR2025 symposium, from #BrainHealth to #BigData. #NTUMetabolic #SHIMR_NTU @mark-christian-lab.bsky.social @jhobbs22.bsky.social

Kicking off #SHIMR2025 Symposium, with director of #SHIMR_NTU, Professor Nik Morton, delivering the opening remarks, setting the tone for a day full of exciting research. #NTUMetabolic #NTU #NTU_Research

An inspiring afternoon session at #SHIMR2025 Symposium. Chaired by Dr Marion Hogg, the session began with Professor Tom Wishart offering a look into the proteomic profiling of #synapses, exploring how molecular vulnerability might shape #neurological stability. #SHIMR_NTU @ntuneuro.bsky.social

Next, Dr @martineurosci.bsky.social #BBSRC Fellowship Awardee, shared her research journey into #glia-to-#neuron communication in the #brain. #SHIMR_NTU #neuroscience #NTU @ntuneuro.bsky.social

We also heard presentations from three early career researchers: 🦠 Dr @danwhiley.bsky.social on #HelicobacterSuis in pigs and its #zoonotic implications. #SHIMR_NTU #NTU

I am Honoured to have received the 2nd Prize at NTU's ⭐️ STAR (Science & Tech Annual Research) Conference! Special thanks to my supervisors @conmeehan.bsky.social @blackpassiflora.bsky.social and collaborators @danwhiley.bsky.social @Kate Cox for the incredible support. @arom-ntu.bsky.social

New preprint from @mohamedeladawy.bsky.social This represents the main body of work from Mohamed's thesis. He's carried out the largest study, to date, on G-ve (11 different genera) CAUTI-associated bacteria in Egypt. #UTIsky #Microsky #AMR It's been a pleasure to supervise Mohamed's PhD studies.

Congratulations to Caitlin Wildsmith on the second paper from her PhD with @davidnegus.bsky.social! #microsky

Super proud of my group presenting both posters and invited talks at @microbiologysociety.org today! Lots of great stuff from @aurelianachilengue.bsky.social @danwhiley.bsky.social and Kate Cox!

And last but certainly not least from a busy Tuesday for the @arom-ntu.bsky.social was @dralhubb.bsky.social talking about drivers of acquisition of antimicrobial resistance in urinary tract infections

Then we had my talk from the @arom-ntu.bsky.social on Heicobacter suis in UK pigs and retail meat products

Next from @arom-ntu.bsky.social and @conmeehan.bsky.social group was Kate Cox presenting her work on “Creating a molecular epidemiology framework for Mycobacterium leprae”

Great to hear from @danwhiley.bsky.social (Nottingham Trent University) on Helicobacter suis in UK farmed pigs 🐖 and retail meat products 🥓. We are glad this session was after lunch! #MicrobialGenomics #Microbio25 #MicroSky

Fantastic talk from Kate Cox (Nottingham Trent University) looking at a much needed molecular epidemiology framework for M.leprae #MicrobialGenomics #Microbio25 #MicroSky @conmeehan.bsky.social @blackpassiflora.bsky.social

Next from @arom-ntu.bsky.social group is Chantelle Endeley from @blackpassiflora.bsky.social group talking about mechanisms underpinning evolution and adaptation to defects in the cell cycle control regulator, Cdc25 phosphatase in yeast

And finally, last talk of the day is ... me! I'll be talking in the "Urogenetial Microbes in Health and Disease" at 17:00 where I will go through our preliminary project looking at where AMR genes/strains/species potentially come from during treatment (5/5) #microbio25. Come see them all!!

@danwhiley.bsky.social who will be speaking on Helicobacter suis in UK farmed pigs and retail meat products. Really interesting work! (15:30) (4/5)

Then later this afternoon we have a double bill in the "Exploring Hidden Threats" session with Kate Cox (MBiol student with @conmeehan.bsky.social) talking about creating a molecular epi framework for M. Leprae (15:15) followed by.. (3/5)

And in a clash, we have @c-cornbill.bsky.social from Warwick (supervisor @friendlymicrobe.bsky.social) talking about the variability in AMR evolution in different host mimicking media in the "AMR - Mechanism and Regulation" (2/5)

Today's the day for the majority of the @arom-ntu.bsky.social talks at #Microbio25. First up we have Chantelle Endley who will be talking about cell cycle control regulator cdc25 in yeast in the "Genetics and Genomics" forum (12:30). (1/5)

Peter Wildly Prize Winner, Professor Lindsay Hall hosts their lecture on 'Guardians of the Gut: Bringing Microbiome Science to life through Public Engagement' in Hall 1 at 9:00 BST #Microbio25. Read about the prize winner- microb.io/ProfLindsayH...

Make sure to check out the Understudied Bacterial Pathogens session tomorrow. We have a brilliant line up of speakers, including invited talks from Esh Mahenthiralingam and @sylvainbrisse.bsky.social #Microbio25 @microbiologysociety.org @alanmcn1.bsky.social @sheppardlab.bsky.social

A new version of our Mtb pangenome preprint is out! Expanded analysis of the full pangenome data and answering all those questions the reviewers asked for ;). Great working with @mabi-behruznia.bsky.social @danwhiley.bsky.social @blackpassiflora.bsky.social and others www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

So glad to be here at #microbio25 ! Very important opening words: “publishing 1 paper with us allows 4 students to attend this AC for free” #publishforthecommunity

Enjoyed today's Education and Outreach Symposium? Don't forget you can publish pedagogy articles in Access Microbiology, like this one -

Missing #microbio25 (poorly - boo!) but grateful I can present our work as recorded talks. Tues pm - Knocking Out AMR Forum, cool study with @davidnegus.bsky.social on class A beta-lactamases. Wed am - Urogenital Microbes session, reconsidering how we characterise G -ve uropathogens.

What a fantastic and highly relevant way to start #Microbio25 with a wonderful presentation by the Black Microbiologists Association as our EDI prize winning lecture.

We're here at #MicroSoc25, well some of us at least... come see @mwilde.bsky.social poster (A146) and chat to her about her work on gene silencing! Then tomorrow I'll be speaking at the urogenetial microbes session. #microsky #utisky

I'm back with a better (and pinker) poster this year, please feel free to come chat!
