Thrilled to see my homegrown Butch T Scorpions ripening! It's been a year since I planted the seeds!

The OHRBID lab website is now live! OHRBID @UofG_SBOHVM ohrbidglasgow.com

Feeling festive today! Happy holidays from the OHRBID family.

Don’t miss out this awesome poster (363) by @majkabio at #Microbio24 today!

Attended an amazing symposium today with great talks and posters. Thrilled to win the poster prize for the first time!

#ArticleinPress: Advances in host depletion and pathogen enrichment methods for rapid sequencing-based diagnosis of bloodstream infection. From lead author Mohammad Sajib and colleagues from UofG SBOHVM, University of Glasgow and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. Full #OpenAccess text: jmdjournal.org/article/S1525-…

Excited to share that the work from the third chapter of my PhD thesis is now live on medRxiv! #BloodstreamInfections #RapidDiagnostics #HostDNADepletion #Metagenomics medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

My final PhD chapter describes "MultiSeq-AMR", an ultra-fast nanopore ampliseq workflow to ID bacterial & fungal species + 91 AMR genes. Preprint here.. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… #BloodstreamInfections #RapidDiagnostics #Nanopore

This study demonstrates how rapid Nanopore sequencing is advancing diagnostics for bloodstream infections. With newer flow cells/workflows, the accuracy and speed will only keep improving. Details here: genomemedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Wrapped up my viva with a great discussion! So thankful for my supervisors Taya Forde Katarina Oravcova Kirstyn Brunker and all the encouragement I’ve had along the way UofG SBOHVM. Bonus: the best PhD-themed cake and gifts ever to celebrate!

Obsessed with this journal cover!

Interesting study! 6% Saponin for host depletion+MGISEQ gave results <24 hours. Pathogen ratio may still be too low and no AMR gene analysis, still nice evidence for sequencing in rapid BSI diagnostics! journalofinfection.com/article/S0163-…
