Fantastic Postdoc opportunity to join Manuel Banzhaf at University of Newcastle working on links between bacterial outer membrane biogenesis and DNA replication. You will also get to collaborate with yours truly! Get in touch with Manuel Banzhaf. Deadline 30th April 24 jobs.ncl.ac.uk/job/Newcastle-…

Yes Neha!! 🥳 #microbio24

Sad to not be at #microbio24 this year, especially as it's in the beautiful Edinburgh but excited to follow along with all the tweets/talks/posters like I'm there anyway! ✌️

My first ever co-supervised student! So proud and thankful to have worked with such a talented young scientist 🔬🦠

So grateful to work and collaborate with such amazing people!

We have dissected the mechanism of phage sensing and restriction by toxin-antitoxin-chaperones. Highlights: mRNA modification by ART toxin, recognition of lambda phage structural protein by HigC/SecB chaperone Gemma C Atkinson Lund University

A gentle appeal to colleagues using voltage sensitive dyes. Maintaining membrane potential needs metabolism. Washing cells nutrient-free in buffer (for staining purposes) leads to quick depolarisation. Can be used as a +- control but not for much more..

It wasn't on my 2024 bingo card that I'd be watching the world darts championship...

Well my shitty week has been massively improved by Henrik Strahl dropping off freshly baked cardamom buns (literally my favourite food ever) 🎁 That may or may not be my second one... #BestPI

We have a 3.5 year PDRA position in bacterial Bioenergetics, as part of Gavin H Thomas's brilliant sLoLa consortium looking at how bacterial effectors protect the PMF in vivo. The role will focus on in vivo biophysics with cryo-EM. Please RT!

Happy Holidays from the Strahl -lab!

Come and be the final member of our amazing sLoLa team on project AVERT understanding how microbial membranes rescue their function after damage. This one with Jamie Blaza in YSBL getting to play with Bacillus bioenergetics with some cryo-EM thrown in

Come join the Duncan lab at @NUBiosciences Newcastle University next year! MRC DiMeN DTP 4yr PhD studentship ‘Metabolic barcoding of microbial antibiotic exposomes’ co-supervised by Matt Hutchings 💚💛 at John Innes Centre. Application deadline 17th Dec findaphd.com/phds/project/m…

Fancy a #PhD focussed on DNA damage repair using the CrispR/Cas technology AND applying that to the context of Staphylococcal infections? Then please apply to my DiMeN DTP PhD project to join our lovely team with Foster Lab and Kasia Mickiewicz FindAPhD: findaphd.com/phds/projectde…

How do diatoms fix ~20% of global CO2? We built a Blueprint of the diatom CO2-fixing pyrenoid using HTP GFP tagging and show that it's encased in a protein shell essential for function! Great work Onyou Nam James Barrett Caroline McKenzie BioscienceTechnology
