Its about time we got together to celebrate @nisbetalice.bsky.social awesome 1st author paper.🎉🥳🎊 In Langridge lab tradition, she received her paper as a coaster before we got our competitiveness out & demolished all of the pizza 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕 hmmm... what shall we celebrate next...

So pleased to have been involved with this paper from @nisbetalice.bsky.social, @gemma-langridge.bsky.social & collaborators @ukhsa.bsky.social If you like #Typhi, #Paratyphi or carriers of these its such a great read! A summary of #genomic #epidemiology of #enteric fever in England & Wales 2004-23

✨️ Milestone complete! ✨️ I'm so excited to share my 1st ever paper with world! In collaboration with @ukhsa.bsky.social, we explored the #genomic #epidemiology of enteric fever in England & Wales from 2004-2023 🦠 with a focus on bacterial carriers within the population. Check it out in @plos.org NTD!

🚨Another Langridge lab paper is hot off the press!🚨 We are excited to share the 1st paper from @nisbetalice.bsky.social, exploring the #genomic epidemiology of #entericfever in England & Wales (2004–23). But the hidden story is all about carriage... Now out in @plos.org Neglected Tropical Diseases!

Not all superheroes wear capes… but some answer random Friday night messages about poorly hedgehogs🦔 So grateful to @aistronach.bsky.social for his help with Martinee who was wondering on a busy road in the evening sun Lucky to be surrounded by kind & brilliant people @quadraminstitute.bsky.social

Who else is missing the craic? We had such a great time @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 at #Belfast so its great to be able relive all the highlights in their summary blog We are so pleased we could play our part in such great science & shenanigans We look forward to Birmingham #microbio27

Before we all run off back to @quadraminstitute.bsky.social we wanted to thank @microbiologysociety.org for anorher wonderful conference We have all had a great time at #microbio26 networking & hearing #cool science. Please watching for our news this year will be an awesome 1 for the whole group..

As @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 wraps up, I can't believe this was my 3rd time presenting at this conference. Thanks to the society letting me present my latest work & for wonderful questions. This paper on impact genome rearrangement has on virulence & #AMR will be coming later this year 👀

Day 3 of @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 had so many highlights but my favourite was the Outreach & Engagement Prize lecture by @lindsaybroadbent.bsky.social A moving & motivating talk showcasing the importance of being able to communicate science to everyone. Read more here microb.io/4bV2Nps

Someone is very happy with themselves to have won some prizes from @microbesng.bsky.social at @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26. Our @gemma-langridge.bsky.social is looking forward to playing the biology word game on her office white board when she gets back to @quadraminstitute.bsky.social

Also happy to discuss my latest preprint showing #Salmonella aren't equal in terms of infection risk! Herr population genomics & global datasets find lineage-specific markers linked to infection - including conserved #phages - showing potential for genomics-informed risk prediction in food safety🤔

So pleased that I was given the opportunity to present my work again to the #genetics & #genomics forum @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26. If you missed your chance to ask me questions on genomic rearrangements & the impact these have on #AMR please feel free to find me or ping me a message 😊

Amazing 2nd day @microbiologysociety.org ##microbio26 with our @eh-hayles.bsky.social & @emmabeansworth.bsky.social presenting their work so well💪 They will be here for the rest of the conference if you have any more burning questions or about their preprints tiny.cc/y0u1101 tinyurl.com/yezwu6ws

Its our favourite day at @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 #genetics & #genomics. In the poster session at A039 we have our @eh-hayles.bsky.social presenting her hot off the preprint work on the dynamics of Shiga toxin subtype #stx2a in #STEC across England, 2016-2024. Read here: tiny.cc/y0u1101

What a wonderful start to @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 with an interactive session on celebrating & promoting actions advancing #EDI followed by @prideinmicro.bsky.social lecture on From visibility to belonging. Its been wonderful to see this network grow. Read more here: microb.io/4mnraQc

The second, I’m at #microbio26 in Belfast presenting the next stages of the project, looking at the gene, genome and phage variation of #stx2a. Come see me at poster A039!

We're excited for @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 to begin but also to share the fantastic news that our @eh-hayles.bsky.social's latest paper is now preprinted. If you wanna hear about temporal dynamics & acquisition of Shiga toxin subtype stx2a within #STEC in England go see her poster at A39

Irish sightseeing ✅️ Now we are excited for @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 to begin! Today we have the adoptees @carolinejarvis.bsky.social (34&35), @jcihorton.bsky.social (37) & our @eh-hayles.bsky.social (39) presenting their #genetics & #genomics forum presents. Cool science here we come 😎

Who is looking forward to the @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 next week?? I'm very grateful to be presenting my 3rd talk at this conference. Looking forward to showing you our latest work on genomic rearrangements in the #genetics & #genomics forum Tues. But 1st I had better finish it #PImoves

Last time we were all in Belfast for @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 things were a little bit different... We are pleased that @c-hill13.bsky.social is now officially 1 of us! She (B210) & @eh-hayles.bsky.social (A39) have posters, @emmabeansworth.bsky.social has a talk Tues in #genomics forum🧬

This is no April fools!!! 🚨 @langridgelab.bsky.social has a funded #PhD for UK candidates Do you love #microbiomes, #bioinformatics & translational science? Come & join us, & @andrewjpage.bsky.social at @originsciences.bsky.social & get stuck into a ton of #metagenomic data🧬 Apply by 8 April

Really enjoyed working with @emmabeansworth.bsky.social and @gemma-langridge.bsky.social on this one! Am loving the inevitable phage-ification of the Langridge lab group #phages

Not all #Salmonella equal in terms of infection risk! By combining population #genomics & global datasets, we identify lineage-specific markers linked to human infection - including a conserved prophage in S. Agona🦠 This highlights the potential for genomics-informed risk prediction in food safety

Excited to share our latest preprint! Food surveillance detects lots of #Salmonella but only some cause disease. Using large-scale #genomics, we show that risk: - clusters at the lineage level, driven by mobile genetic elements - markers can be IDed including a phage in Agona - can be predicted

Our @nisbetalice.bsky.social and @gemma-langridge.bsky.social are in Cambodia 🇰🇭 Powering through the jetlag, they are sharing their research on typhoidal #salmonella 🧬🦠 in collaboration with #ukhsa and #fijinationaluniversity #takeontyphoid #phnompenh
