As we leave late summer behind & enter autumn & some normality, we have been able to get together to celebrate some awesome achievements by our @stevenrudder.bsky.social & @eh-hayles.bsky.social. In a Langridge lab tradition, both received their coasters of their 1st author papers in the group!🎉🥳🎊

Looking for your next summer read? Our @stevenrudder.bsky.social's 1st 1st author paper is now published in @microbiologysociety.org's #MicrobialGenomics Revealing within-host genome diversity of #Salmonella & highlighting the limits of single-colony #sequencing with impacts on #AMR & transmission

Big news! @quadraminstitute.bsky.social Microbe of the Month is Salmonella Typhi! A tiny troublemaker with a big history🦠 Check out Typhi's reel to learn about its genetic gymnastics and long-term love for Mary Mallon 💝 #MicrobeoftheMonth #SalmonellaSlay See @quadraminstitute on instagram for more!

We heard a lot about how #COVID impacted the nation, but what happened locally? Here @eh-hayles.bsky.social discusses her research exploring & understanding how #SARS-CoV-2 spread & evolved in #Norfolk during the #COVID-19 pandemic 🦠 & shows how we can use the past to be prepared for the future💪

Waiting for the rain to stop? ⛈️ Need a good read? 📃 Our @eh-hayles.bsky.social has written a blog discussing her research exploring & understanding how SARS-CoV-2 spread & evolved in #Norfolk during the #COVID-19 pandemic 🦠 She shows the powers of #sequence surveillance & #epidemiology💪

🆕 Blog! Our PhD student @eh-hayles.bsky.social discusses her research exploring and understanding how SARS-CoV-2 spread and evolved in #Norfolk during the COVID-19 pandemic 🦠 ➡️ buff.ly/YgTTNVG

Congrats @eh-hayles.bsky.social ! And it's always nice to see that one can run 30k genomes on iqtree!

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...

During the #COVID19 pandemic @quadraminstitute.bsky.social, sequenced >87,000 #SARSCoV2 samples, with an emphasis on East Anglia, supporting local hospitals with data informed insights on the emerging pandemic with #COGUK. This paper explores the #genomic #epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in Norfolk, UK

Truly delighted to see @eh-hayles.bsky.social have her 1st paper out! Not only 1st paper but 1st-1st author paper and 1st paper to ever come from the @mmbdtp.bsky.social!!! Congratulations to you & all the co-authors👏Such a huge piece of work now in @microbiologysociety.org's #MicrobialGenomics

Our @eh-hayles.bsky.social's 1st 1st-author paper is now published in @microbiologysociety.org's #MicrobialGenomics It explores the #genomic #epidemiology of #COVID in Norfolk, UK Great job by @andrewjpage.bsky.social @drrobkingsley.bsky.social Javier Guitian #COGUK & @gemma-langridge.bsky.social!

What a great movie reel of 3 incredible days of #Salmonella science & networking at #I3S #I3Scongress. A great highlight captured for us is @ukhsa.bsky.social's @mariechattaway.bsky.social vibrant keynote talk! ... & video evidence of our @emmabeansworth.bsky.social actually doing some work😮

The ability of @jidcuk.bsky.social to fund such projects depends on the resources we have today. Donations can help the charity expand their impact and support even more ground-breaking projects in the future. If you would like to support please donate here: www.jidcuk.org/donate

It's been a pleasure to help develop an @nanoporetech.com #sequencing course which has helped train individuals in Fiji National University & Nepal. The course's aim is to enable scientists to do their own sequencing in their own country, preparing them to respond to any outbreak in the future🧑‍🔬🧬

Here's a blog from PhD student @carolinejarvis.bsky.social, reflecting on how myself & other researchers from the @quadraminstitute.bsky.social have been working with the charity @jidcuk.bsky.social to improve access to global health research & champion equitability of collaborations🧑‍🔬🌏

Our CSO @pathogenomenick.bsky.social is finishing off #MNGPopUp with a fantastic talk on metagenomic pathogen surveillance 👀 @articnetwork.bsky.social #MicroSky #MicrobialGenomics #Metagenomics #InfectiousDiseases #GenomicSurveillance #PathogenDetection #Bioinformatics

Great to hear from @nisbetalice.bsky.social who shared new insights into how Salmonella Paratyphi A adapts during long-term, asymptomatic carriage 👀 #MicrobialGenomics #PathogenSurveillance #PublicHealth #Microbiology #EntericFever #Salmonella #ECR #MNGPopUp @quadraminstitute.bsky.social

And finally at @microbesng.bsky.social #MNGPopUp our @nisbetalice.bsky.social is chairing the last session including the keynote from @pathogenomenick.bsky.social titled “Pathogen surveillance through #metagenomics: the next frontier?" Looking forward to some more great #Genomics #ECR talks first!

Next up from our group at @microbesng.bsky.social #MNGPopUp is @nisbetalice.bsky.social talking about #genomic insights into #ParatyphiA carriage, providing key evidence showing that this serovar must be studied as an unique pathogen and not be bundle together with other typhoidal #salmonella!

@stevenrudder.bsky.social's talk was 🔥 Extracting ultra-pure DNA from stool & bacteria—trickier than it sounds but critical for long-reads 🔍 Long-reads resolve repeat-rich genomes 🦠 Improve outbreak tracking & #AMR mapping 📈 Better study of mobile genetic elements #MicrobialGenomics #ECR #MNGPopUp

Next up from our group at @microbesng.bsky.social #MNGPopUp is Claire Hill talking about a novel pipeline she has developed for analysis of Transposon Insertion Sequencing #TraDIS data which looks at the raw signal to gain information of essentiality in absence of a fully annotate genome! 🤩🧬

First up from our group at #MNGPopUp is @stevenrudder.bsky.social about his work on improving High Molecular Weight DNA extraction from stool for @nanoporetech.com's long read sequencing using Revolugen's FireMonkey kit. Who knew you could great such great 🧬 from 💩 for clinical #ONT diagnostics!

And an amazing talk to kick off @microbesng.bsky.social #MNGPopUp by Leanne Sims @quadraminstitute.bsky.social with a talk on engineering Shewanella oneidensis to recover precious platinum group metals at a large industrial scale from waste! #ECR #MicrobialGenomics

Who is excited for an exciting day of #MicrobialGenomics with @microbesng.bsky.social #MNGPopUp #ECR conference? We are! Our students @stevenrudder.bsky.social & @nisbetalice.bsky.social will be giving talks on their #PhD in addition to our new Postdoc Claire Hill. Day full of great science ahead.

Coming up next at #I3S #I3Scongress is @nisbetalice.bsky.social showing a summary of 20 years of #typhoidal #Salmonella in England & Wales. She is excited to present here as she prepares this for publication and as this is her first international talk. We are hanging around if you have any Qs.

3 years ago at #I3S I was happy to be introduced as a lady of #Salmonella & this time it's an honour to have my communication skills be recognised by this #scientific community. Thank you to the organising committee for awarding my lastest work on impact of genomic rearrangements a poster prize &...

For awarding our @nisbetalice.bsky.social an award for her talk looking at 20 years of enteric fever in England & Wales. #ProudPostdoc It's been a delight to be able to attend with more members of the Langridge lab including @gemma-langridge.bsky.social & Alice. Thank you #I3Scongress & St. Malo

Our @nisbetalice.bsky.social gave an awesome final & award winning talk at #I3Scongress showing 20 years of #typhoidal #Salmonella in England & Wales. Amazing achievement for her 1st ever international talk. Keep an eye out for this publication coming soon, in collaboration with @ukhsa.bsky.social
