📣Call for abstracts — WBF 2026, Session NEX5: “Microbial communities as One Health drivers.” Davos, 14–19 Jun 2026. Community-level mechanisms, AMR & practical interventions (experimental/computational/interventional). Deadline: 18 Nov 2025 → tinyurl.com/4un5a8a4 #OneHealth #Microbiome #AMR

Was great to put the dream team back together for a commentary on this with @alisonmather.bsky.social very cool study on AMR flow through food production chains in Europe www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🎓 #PhDPosition ! 🤰 Understanding the relationship between the maternal microbiome and fetal growth restriction with Professor Mark Webber @webberma.bsky.social and Professor Alison Mather @alisonmather.bsky.social 📅Apply by Monday 14 April ➡️ buff.ly/QL3JFtg

Starting the new year with a new pre-print from the Hall Lab @halllab.bsky.social looking at the impact of empirical antibiotics on gut microbiome and resistome of both probiotic and non-probiotic supplemented VLBW preterm infants: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #resistome #amr #microbiome #preterm

I just made a first release of TNA - new tool to compare 2 bacterial genomes. Is shamelessly inspired by ACT, but should be simpler to use. Drag-n-drop two genomes: it runs BLAST for you and then you can visualize. For Mac, Windows 11, Linux tna.readthedocs.io

🚨#PhD opportunity!🚨Do plasmids help soil microbiomes adapt to climate change? Join me and Raj Whitlock to investigate, using the world's longest-running climate experiment 🌾🥵🦠 Please share, and get in touch if you are interested! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

The HZI will hire up to twenty (20!) tenure-track research groups under the broad topic of "Microbial Stargazing" (🦠🌌). The first round of 4 positions is now open; the call closes on the 10th of December. Please share! www.helmholtz-hzi.de/en/career/jo...

Come work with us! The Quadram is in search of a Head of Bioinformatics to lead and cultivate a specialised bioinformatics core support team. Applications Close 04 December 2023 quadram.ac.uk/vacancies/he...

PhD studentship with myself and Ed Feil at the University of Bath looking at the evolution and epidemiology of plasmids - in particular looking at plasmid fusions/hybrids/recombinants. Lots of fun bioinformatics! Open to UK or international students. #microsky www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

PhD studentship (co-sup with Ed Feil, collaborators incl. Edze Westra): using GWAS to find bacterial susceptibility loci to phage infection, and machine learning for prediction. Amazing dataset, great application for machine learning www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

PhD available with me at NTU. Metabolomics and cell-line work (... maybe some microbiota ...). Open to UK and international students. Host–microbiota interactions in pancreatic cancer: determining whether they exist, and their influence on disease Please RT. #MicrobiomeSky

PhD opportunity with me and Mark Webber! Some microbial genomics, some molecular biology, all fun. Apply here: buff.ly/3FjzrzS
