The work of an extremely frustrated grad student, no doubt

Phage Phage Phages

My first paper from my PhD is out! Rejoice! 🎉 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Pseudotyping Bacteriophage P2 Tail Fibers to Extend the Host Range for Biomedical Applications dlvr.it/SYB5xk

Brilliant to be thinking & talking about our Virus Tinkerers #escaperoom Exitus Escape Rooms again. One of my favourite #publicengagement projects with a great team. Thanks for kicking things off @eberlmat looking forward to catching up with you, Alan Parker Dr Tabs & Ceri soon 🔑

"Here, we re-engineered the Escherichia coli phage P2 to alter its tropism toward pathogenic bacteria." Dr Tabs, Alan Parker, and Prof. Alfonso Jaramillo provide evidence that pseudotyping P2 is feasible, suggesting a route to engineer designer phages. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

We have raised over £1000 and counting! Thank you so much to everyone for your donations #shinewalk Cancer Research UK ✨✨✨

Poster up in Edinburgh for the ESGCT BSGCT conference! Come talk to me about my work at poster 74! #ESGCT2022

We launched our #escaperoom during Cardiff Science Festival 2020, 2000+ people have played so far & it continues to raise money for Tenovus Cancer Care / Gofal Canser Tenovus 🦠 Book now to see if you can escape in time Exitus Escape Rooms 🔑 Read more here 👇🏻 cardiff.ac.uk/systems-immuni… Alan Parker @eberlmat Dr Tabs

Come see our escape room poster and see if you beat the puzzles! 🔬

Say hello to Dr Bates!! So proud of Emily for passing her viva today! 🥳👩‍🎓

Very excited to be sharing my first first-author paper that has just published in ACS Synthetic Bio today on phage tail engineering for targeting gut pathogens 🦠 pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… Biological Sciences | University of Edinburgh

When people ask what I work on:

11…yes that’s ELEVEN (!!) new adenoviral fiber knob structures including 4 in complex with sialic acid! This has been a long time in the making so enjoy a sneak peek whilst this is under review! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #adenovirus #structure #sialicacid #receptor #preprint

Viva done ✅️ Call me Dr Tabs Thank you to Alan Parker for all your support 🙏

Not a surprise to anyone who’s had their life blown to bits for the last 3 years. But great to see it studied/reported in these stark terms. Comparison one of our best tools given how difficult it is for healthy people to get their heads round it. theguardian.com/society/2023/j…

Thanks so much for all the support Alan Parker! 🦠 Sad to be going but excited for the future 💫

📢 Our very first paper is out for npj Viruses! 📢 Researchers from Cardiff University show "Broad sialic acid usage amongst species D human #adenovirus" From: Rosie Mundy, Pierre Rizkallah, Alan Parker 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4429…

Thanks for the write up The Phage. Glad you enjoyed the our work on bacteriophage Pseudotyping led by the awesome Dr Tabs 👏👏👍🏻

This morning, Mike and Janos (pictured below) set off from our site in Avonmouth to cycle 175 miles to its sister site in Elton, Cheshire! The guys are raising money for Alzheimer's Society, and are currently at a total of £1530 👏 Click the link below to support ⬇️
