But just like humans, bacteria are not perfect; neither is the ordered arrangement of outer membrane proteins a perfect lattice. 😀

For anyone interested in #antibiotics (polymyxins) and how the do (or not) induce order in the Gram-negative outer #membrane, please see our (with Georgina Benn, @KleanthousLab and Tom Silhavy) view as now published in Nature Communications: doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Always great to discover yet other, previously unknown talents among colleagues.

We are resuming the Microbiology Society supported online seminar series on bacterial cell envelopes soon. Please do let us know if you would like to speak or nominate someone else. These are supportive, inclusive, seminars free to anyone interested in bacterial cell envelopes. Pls RT

The #BBSRC project on Resistance to polymyxin antibiotics has developed nice collaborative team from #UCL, #Imperial and #Nottingham. The team at our latest meeting in Nottingham.

Fantastic permanent #job London Centre for Nanotechnology for #AFM afficionado with a keen interest to support #microscopy work across disciplines with also ample scope for industrial collaborations: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

I'm looking for a post-doc to join the lab and figure out how polymyxins kill bacteria, how resistance works and what we can do about it (3 yr, BBSRC funded): imperial.ac.uk/jobs/descripti…

Great to be part of this. Bacterial outer membrane, here we come!

📢Registration is open for our IPLS Annual Symposium, 20th June 2024! We will showcase exciting #interdisciplinary #research performed by IPLS researchers and collaborators. Limited spaces, register early to avoid disappointment 👇 ucl.ac.uk/physics-living…

Delighted to highlight an investment of >£6M in a EPSRC and BBSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in #Engineering Solutions for #AntimicrobialResistance at @UCL London Centre for Nanotechnology, designed by a fantastic cross-disciplinary team from multiple UCL faculties & departments.

Lab Christmas dinner. We know it is March, but we are doing research, so often things materialise a bit later than originally planned...

That makes two very proud supervisors!

#postdoc #vacancy position in our London lab for #AFM / #microscopy expert with interest/experience in #microbiology, part of an exciting Wellcome funded research programme with Department of Biochemistry at Oxford University and Rosalind Franklin Institute, see ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…
