Last Friday I had the HUGE pleasure of visiting LS1 @erc.europa.eu grantees based at the University of Oxford and to give an info session on all the changes implemented in the 2026 WP. Thanks so much for the warm welcome @agwrobel.bsky.social, @georgiaisom.bsky.social and @achilleskap.bsky.social!

Jeff was such an amazing mentor to me (and many others) during my PhD, even though I wasn’t in his group. I wouldn’t be where I am today without him. He will indeed be missed.

Last month, the Friends of the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter held a screening of Breaking the Mould - a BBC drama that portraits the world-changing research done at the Dunn School to develop penicillin. The screening was followed by an expert panel discussion including @georgiaisom.bsky.social.

PhD position available in our team to study how UPEC exploits metals to successfully colonise the host gut. Cool collaboration with @thecopperdoctor.bsky.social and @banzhaflab.bsky.social Please share and get in touch for more details

A very - ahem - groovy talk by @georgiaisom.bsky.social: the protein YhdP spans the E. coli periplasm and transports phospholipids to the OM via a hydrophobic groove along its length. Impressive mix of computational & wet lab work www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We had a fantastic time today showcasing our amazing history and cutting-edge research at #OxfordOpenDoors! Visitors learnt about 100 years of medical research, the development of penicillin and our ongoing work on microbiology and AMR. Thanks to all the volunteers!

📣 Applications now open 📣 We are seeking outstanding ECRs looking for a stimulating and supportive environment in which to establish their research group as externally-funded fellows, in any area or cell or molecular biology underlying disease! Please share! www.path.ox.ac.uk/work-with-us...

Congratulations to @clarede-ath.bsky.social for winning best talk, and @harry-lee4.bsky.social for winning best 1st year poster at yesterday’s student symposium! @dunnschool.bsky.social

Lab trip to @microbiologysociety.org conference last week!

So great to catch up with my former PhD student @georgiaisom.bsky.social and her current PhD student at #BMSV conference
