Happy International day of Women and Girls in Science everyone! To all women in STEM out there keep being as amazing as you are!!

Let’s celebrate these, and many other, #womeninSTEM who paved the way for all of us on international day of women and girls in science!

Check out some of the photos from day two of our Half Term Activities! 🧫 🦠 🧪 We got to be Imperial microbiologists for the day with CBRB - look at the supervillain microbes! We had lots of fun performing experiments and investigating bacteria!

Ready STAT3 go! - read our short review on how different bacteria activate stat3 here - sciencedirect.com/science/articl… all the hard work by Ioanna Panagi!

🚨🚨The CBRB has a new member! Dr. Paul O'Sullivan is joining Teresa Thurston to work on #Salmonella effectors. 🦠 Paul has a background in #cellbiology and signalling and has previously worked with Prof. Steve Ley. Welcome, Paul! 💐

Come say hi today at P412 poster #microbio23 if you want to hear how loss of one tRNA modification causes AMR in mycobacteria! 🦠 Bonus stories on how my cat Mochi helped in make this pawster 🐈 #hardworkingcat Microbiology Society

We and PearsonLab wrote a massive review on Salmonella effectors in Microbiology Society. Huge congrats to lead author Timesh Pillay and all those who made this possible. tinyurl.com/4dafbv39

Great talks and amazing science at the 5th UK Cellular Microbiology meeting at London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. Happy to have won best flash talk🎉. Thanks Teresa Thurston and @PeterWSHill for all your guidance and everyone involved in the project 😊

Are you at #GRCSalmonella and want to know more about how Salmonella effectors reprogramme macrophages towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype? Come and see my poster num 37 today or tomorrow!!

Some great advice from Inés from CBRB about how to give a great poster presentation and congratulations on your award! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mm…

Check out my interview for winning the best poster presentation at the UK Cellular Microbiology Network Meeting 2023! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mm…

I got a very cute GIANTmicrobes, Inc. DNA plush and other great presents for winning the #guesstheballs Stratech Scientific competition! Thanks Chandni_Stratech for all your help during your visit to CBRB earlier this week.

Interested in reading about a new Salmonella SPI-2 effector? - preprint here biorxiv.org/content/10.110… - work led by a talented senior fellow, XJ, in collaboration with Prof Holden and @jay_salsa

Very proud of postdoc Ines Inés Imperial Department of Infectious Disease CBRB for completing the societal engagement development course and gaining her well deserved certificate! Superb achievement and looking forward to learning from her ideas! 🎉

The final talk in this session: Inés shows us how Salmonella typhimurium uses SteE to elegantly hi-jack non-canonical STAT3 singalling to shape its survival niche!

Lots of amazing science today at the London Infection Postdoc Network Symposium @LondonPostdoc! I'm thrilled to have won best talk! Thanks everyone who engaged with my research!

Re-introducing the newest small and mighty kid on the block (with the right link I hope) journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… - fantastic collaboration with XJ Yu CBRB Imperial Department of Infectious Disease David Holden and @jay_salsa x.com/thurstonlab/st…

Hello from Atlanta! 🇺🇸 I’ll be presenting a poster on the secretion of proteins by Salmonella as part of my PhD with Tom Ellis Teresa Thurston 🧫 Come chat with me tomorrow afternoon! #SEED2024

Today we said goodbye to Kelvin Kering, our global hubs fellow from the Kariuki lab in Kenya. Kelvin worked with Inés on Salmonella-macrophage interactions - thank you for visiting our lab Kelvin and we wish you the best for the final leg of your PhD.

Great start at the Dunn_School (now @DunnSchool.bsky.social) Looking forward to doing great Science in OMPI2! Thanks for the welcome gift Teresa Thurston
