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

Later our @nisbetalice.bsky.social will be giving the final talk of #I3S #I3Scongress which summarises enteric fever in England & Wales over the last 20 years - an amazing case summary of some of the hard sentinel surveillance work carried out by @ukhsa.bsky.social. Stick around it will be awesome👍

Our @nisbetalice.bsky.social, @emmabeansworth.bsky.social & @gemma-langridge.bsky.social are having a magnifique time at #I3S. Currently they are enjoying talks in the #comparativegenomics session where Emma will also present her poster (102) showing genome rearrangement can impact #virulence & #AMR

What a great key note presentation from @mariechattaway.bsky.social looking at the evolution of #AMR in #Salmonella over the lifetime of #publichealth surveillance. If you enjoyed Marie's talk, then there are many posters featuring work from others @ukhsa.bsky.social's surveillance team here at #I3S

#I3S are you ready for the @langridgelab.bsky.social? After a long journey we are ready for a lovely few days listening to the latest in #Salmonella research, catching up with old friends & meeting new colleagues in St. Malo...
