So ends an absolutely fantastic #VoM2024. Organisers absolutely smashed it Viruses of Microbes 2024 🇦🇺. - content ✅ - location ✅ - delegation ✅ UK contingent had a whale of a time. 🇬🇧 Going home tired but inspired and energised to apply the learnings to ongoing research! 🥼🦠💻

So glad to represent the Smith lab Darren Smith along with Rui Santos and Jasmine in my first #VoM2024 in Australia. Not only did we learn about current research in phages but also made loads of friends!!!🧬🐨🇦🇺 #phage #australia_is_mint

Had an amazing time in Cairns at Viruses of Microbes 2024 with the @EvelienAdri team. Thanks to everyone for making it such a wonderful week. Nice to see some familiar faces and meet great people. See you all in 2026! 🦠 Ryan Cook Hannah Pye @scifreek Greg Young Rui Santos Jasmine

We just released the first episode of our Podcast Culture & Cultures. Listen along to learn about phage therapy, the layed-back culture in Cairns and the pong-pong tree 🧫🏖🌴 Find it on Spotify or Apple podcasts (link in bio) 🎙🔊

The first paper of my PhD is out now! Massive thanks to my supervisors for the support. Shafeer kalathil Libby pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ap… Powering the Future: Unveiling the Secrets of Semiconductor Biointerfaces in Biohybrids for Semiartificial Photosynthesis

Well its that time of year again Pholks. We are happy to announce the dates for the next Viruses of Microbes-UK meeting at Northumbria University. The meeting will be on the 23rd and 24th of Jan 2025. This will be preceded by a phage genomics workshop led by Andrew millard on the 22nd

Registration for VoM-2025 is now open. Early careers researchers please submit an abstract, as a really supportive environment for first talks or poster presentations. We look forward to you welcoming you to the toon once again in Jan!! Please share....

So happy to have been given the opportunity to present my work in Pa temperate phages in Paediatric CF patients Darren Smith at VoM-UK great catching up with other fellow phage-hunters ! #VoMUK2025 🧬

Amazing to have attended VoM-UK and had the opportunity to present my work in the preterm infant gut. Super interesting talks and great to hear more from the phantastic phage community! #phage #preterm

My team NU-OMICS are looking for a scientific officer initially until end of Nov 25. Experience of DNA sequencing PacBio Illumina, Oxford Nanopore or molecular biology advantageous. Great experience to come and work in a busy externally facing genomics service tinyurl.com/37vew5ez

Presentation complete! Grateful for the opportunity to give a talk at Microbiology Society Annual Conference 2025 on "Viral and bacterial contributions preceding disease onset in preterm infants: a cross NICU study in the UK" #Microbio25 #Phage

Interesting poster about Phage resistance in Klebsiella #Microbio25

Em 🍄 presenting a lovely little side project on the utilisation of ClearColi to produce phage #Microbio25

I am delighted to have been given an opportunity to talk about my PhD project in Pseudomonas prophages at Microbiology Society in sunny Liverpool. Ps. We also met The Beatles !!! 🪲☀️#MicroSoc2025 #Smith_Lab Darren Smith

Opportunities for microbiome-based therapeutics in preterm infants Led by Emily Wroot, alongside Greg Young Jon Chapman and GN Neonatal Biobank. Hopefully this provides a timely insight for clinicians and researchers interested in preterm infants and beyond nature.com/articles/s4156…
