Hooray! I am delighted to share our Quadram Institute Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research partnership award with Diergeneeskunde Aldert Zomer Linda van der Graaf has been awarded on “One Health genomic and metagenomic approaches to Campylobacter and food safety”!

Great to see the schedule and list of talks for "Plasmids Around the Globe 2021" ISPB's first virtual conference. For further details and registration see plasmidbiologysociety.org/plasmids-aroun… ISPB22 #Plasmid

Videos from the PubMLST forum event on Campylobacter disease surveillance and research, held on Monday, are now available on the PubMLST YouTube channel. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Great presentation of fantastic bioinformatics tools, thank you John Lees #ABPHM21

Just found out that Microbiology Society is hosting a micro genomics online seminar series from October 2021-March 2022, organized by @DrKatHolt Sheppard Lab. Here's the link to register tinyurl.com/56euuy6x. Sounds promising!

Our new paper with Aldert Zomer about RFPlasmid - a #Bioinformatics tool that uses #machinelearning to identify #plasmid contigs from their sequence characteristics is now available in @micgenomics Microbiology Society doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0…

Join me and Aldert Zomer ♕ 月牙天衝 Webinar | Current Status of Acinetobacter Infections on March 10th, 2022. Register here Pathogens-7.sciforum.net #Pathogens7 via MDPI Sciforum - Conferences

New tool PlasmidEC presented by Julian Paganini of Anita Schürch group, looks very promising to reconstruct E.coli plasmids from short read data #ssm22

#IMMEMXIII I am wondering which person from Sheppard Lab is photographed for the top picture, and is drowned in the bottom picture?

Antimicrobial resistance in Campylobacter fetus is emerging and our study showed that ECOFFs need to be established, in Microbiology Society with Aldert Zomer pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36862577/

Today UGent is awarding an honorary doctorate to Jaap Wagenaar for his achievements in the field of #OneHealth and antibiotic resistance. "A great recognition of the work we do as a research group, in cooperation with UMC Utrecht International and Nico Daniel." 👏 bit.ly/3LVsFES

We just published a paper in Microbiology Society #Mgen on Vibrio parahaemolyticus serotyping doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0… . V. parahaemolyticus is a food-borne pathogen that presents surface polysaccharides which can be used to distinguish problematic and disease-causing lineages.
