We have a funded PhD project in the lab in September! Joint with P&G, with time in their research labs too & a mini MBA. We will be looking for and characterising new glycoprotease enzymes #glycotime findaphd.com/phds/project/n…

In the market for a -80 freezer. What are the best recommendations? I remember seeing a thread on this recently but can’t remember what the consensus was…

If you haven't been to this before please consider coming along. The meeting has been running since 2012 and has been continually excellent.

To kick things off is research by Birmingham University’s David Grainger, “H-NS is a bacterial transposon capture protein”, the most interesting presentation I attended at #Microbio24 .

As we near 550 participants in the multi-omic precision medicine study IBD-RESPONSE, thanks to BMJ_Open for publishing our protocol - patient pathway and analytical plans for microbiome, single cell transcriptome, genetics, metabolome and diet - bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/4/e…🦠🍏🧬 🙏

New paper 🚨 taken a while to get over the line but delighted our study of #Klebsiella pneumoniae in Malaysian indigenous populations is out in BMC Genomics Springer Nature Kudos to MSc student Souradeep and 👍 to brilliant collaborators rdcu.be/dE34S

Our latest research published today in eLife. Great work led by Nhu Nguyen and with a fantastic team of Australian and international collaborators.

Out now in @naturecomms! We show that the sensor kinase KdpD from E. coli is not just a histidine kinase, but acts as a bifunctional tandem serine histidine kinase, controlling the K+ pump KdpFABC on the transcriptional and post-translational level.

Truly excited to see our latest article, in which we were surprised how phages that target conjugative plasmids are both so common and diverse, published!

A real tour de force from Natalia Quinones-Olvera and Siân Owen
