🌟 Exciting news! We’re launching three fully-funded postdoc positions for "New Horizons for Synthetic Phages” Join us in tackling antimicrobial resistance with cutting-edge synthetic biology + AI bioinformatics. Based at Flinders Uni in vibrant Adelaide. 👇 Read on for details! #Phage

I really enjoyed working on this piece about #AI in #microbiology research with @thomacillin.bsky.social We are exploring how the data and the user affect the performance of AI, discuss reasoning, and outline 5 key principles of working with AI. #MicroSky

First official guidance on the development and use of #phage therapies in the UK has been published by MHRA! www.gov.uk/government/n...

Massive congratulations to Darvel’s 2nd most famous microbiologist🦠🔬Ross Duncan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 for passing his viva yesterday! Thanks to @tcoenye.bsky.social and Dr Deirdre Gilpin for conducting the viva, and @timskvortsov.bsky.social for chairing. Very proud supervisor #biofilms #coldplasma #pharmacyQUB

Thanks to #AI enhanced TEM, we can now see previously missed details of #phage morphology

Extremely proud of Akash Shambharkar, who successfully defended his PhD thesis investigating #phage based approaches against CAUTIs! It was a pleasure supervising Akash with Brendan Gilmore. Many thanks to Brian Jones and Matthew Wylie for examining, and to Sheiliza Carmali for chairing the viva!

I am looking for a post-doctoral researcher to develop a joint application for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship 2025, focusing on #phage biology and bioinformatics. If interested, please send me your CV and a brief outline of your research project at your earliest opportunity.

Delighted to represent our lab together with our PhD student Shauna at the NI Science Festival 2025 (@niscifest.bsky.social) and to talk about the exciting bacteriophage research we are conducting at the QUB School of Pharmacy (@qubelfastofficial.bsky.social ! #NISF25 #phage

It's Phriday! Huge thanks to our student Maria for the #phage cake - it was as delicious as it was cool looking!

Happy to announce that our study on the introduction and spread of SARS-CoV-2 across the island of Ireland has now been published in Genome Medicine! Using phylogenetics and geospatiotemporal analysis, we traced 4,439 #SARS-CoV-2 introductions to Ireland (2020–2022).

If you are interested in prophages, we have a new database: Prophage-DB. Check it out and all feedback is welcome biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...
