We are back on Friday with our first JAM talks session of the year! 🦠🔬Dr Matthew VX Whelan / Mathúin Ó Faoláin🔬🦠 and Arya Gupta will be sharing their work on antimicrobial resistance in Campylobacter jejuni and Staphylococcus aureus!

It’s always a little strange hearing your own voice - but it was a very cool experience getting interviewed for #MicrobeTalk with Alice Lanne and sharing a bit about the idea behind Jr Award for Microbiology ! 🎤🦠👯‍♀️

Brilliant discussions with Amy Switzer and Linda Oyama who gave really interesting talks today Jr Award for Microbiology!

Safe journey to the Alderwick Lab Alice Lanne Stephen Bethell and Bala, travelling to Belfast today to present there work at the Microbiology Society next week. Sorry I cant be there with you...too much to do in work 🥴.

Just when you thought the IMI news couldn’t get any better, here it is…our very own Professor Gurdyal Singh Besra FMedSci FRS, newly elected as FRS by The Royal Society. HUGE congratulations Del!! 🍾🎉

I'm so unbelievably happy about this, thank you so much to Microbiology Society and everyone who came and chatted to me about my poster! Wellcome Trust AAMR #microbio19

Its been an absolute pleasure running Jr Award for Microbiology with Alice Lanne the last two years! Happy to know it will be in good hands next year with Dr Ross McInnes and Greg McCallum !

Unfortunately we’ve come to the end of another great JAM talks series. A massive thank you goes out to this years speakers who gave great talks however there can only be one winner. Congrats to Dr Liam Rooney who is JAM talks 18/19 winner and will present at the Midlands M4 meeting!

China has an estimated 1 million new cases of #tuberculosis a year- and worryingly, many patients are affected by multi-drug resistant TB. We're collaborating with colleagues in China to solve this through new drug development > birminghamhealthpartners.co.uk/uk-china-colla… #EndTB #Stop_TB JSF Group

Had an amazing time in China and am so grateful to be a part of this project!!

Researchers from our Schools of Chemistry and Biosciences have joined forces with their counterparts at the Guangzhou Institute of Biomedicine and Health (GIBH) to develop new drugs to fight tuberculosis. Read more: birmingham.ac.uk/partners/enter…

WE ARE BACK!!! @PremierLeague

So happy that this is finally out!! A really exciting project between so many great research groups - Azetidines kill TB without detectable resistance!

I'm on the lookout for someone who would be interested in doing their PhD with me. On the topic of glycans, microbes, & CAZymes🦠. Avaliable to UK and international students. Plz RT or pass on this info🤗#glycotime email or DM me✉️Thank you twitter friends

Come and join me, Jamie Mann, Paul Race and Kristen Reyher in @Bristol_Vets University of Bristol for an exciting PhD studying neglected tick-borne pathogens! If you're interested in microbiology, structural biology and pathogenesis then contact me for a chat uob-fhs.phdprojects.uk/65
