Proud PI as Emily finishes her 10-week Nottingham BBSRC DTP project. She developed methods for Helicobacter culture from raw meat & pig stomachs, used molecular techniques to detect them, gained bioinformatics & histo skills, networked. Hopefully just the start of her ECR journey🧫🥼

We are running a massive online open course on AMR databases starting end of the month. Its completely free, study at your own pace and its ~15 hours overall over the 3 weeks (although you can finish any time in a year). Please spread in your networks! …erences.wellcomeconnectingscience.org/event/antimicr…

Congratulations to Sourav Kumar Das on the publication of his review on Bdellovibrio with David Negus! NTUScienceTechnology Dept of Biosciences, Nottingham Trent University NTU Research

The NTU World AMR Awareness Week (18-24 Nov 2024) student competition has been launched by Jody Winter. Students around the world: submit a short video or comic strip suitable for a broad audience, to help us raise awareness of AMR. Deadline 10 Nov (midnight GMT).

Our latest paper on mmpR5 frameshifts mutations is out! Our modelling suggests that this regressor protein can still form its structure using alternative reading frames, which is important when predicting bedaquiline resistance in Mtb. journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11…

New preprint out from Sam Dawson (PhD), Sara G ✌🏽 (MRes), Dr Fiona Newberry (post-doc), David Negus and Lesley Hoyles. COVID lockdown meant Sam needed to change the focus of his PhD for a while. This is the result. Isolated phages and MAGs --> 2x number of known weberviruses.

Congratulations to Stephen Thompson (PhD), OMOYEMI OJO (PhD), Lesley Hoyles and Jody Winter on their preprint combining transcriptomic (RNAseq) and phenotypic work to show the effects of menadione on Helicobacter pylori.

Great to kick off #WAAW with a huge injection of enthusiasm from students who entered our NTU-MAK Partnership annual competition, producing engaging videos and comic strips to help raise awareness of AMR. Congratulations to the winners! All available at jodywinter.wixsite.com/waaw/waaw-2024 #cwpams #amr

We have a number of PhD studentships available within NTU Antimicrobial Resistance, Omics and Microbiota. Health inequalities which impact the treatment of urinary tract infections ntu.ac.uk/study-and-cour… with Alasdair Hubbard ⚫.

PhD studentship with Jody Winter and Linda Gibson. One Health drivers of antibiotic resistant bacterial infections in rural Ugandan communities ntu.ac.uk/study-and-cour…

Very excited about this project! Interested potential candidates very welcome to contact me informally to find out more before applying

New translational study from Professor Lesley Hoyles and Simon McArthur (Queen Mary University of London) showing how a microbiome-associated metabolite implicated in chronic kidney disease affects the blood–brain barrier.

It's never too late to celebrate😃! Glad to share that I won the Second Best Poster Prize at the East Midlands AMR Network Research Conference! Grateful to my supervisory team Conor Meehan Maria Rosa Domingo Sananes Daniel Whiley for their invaluable support! 💫

Just under a month left to apply for NTU PhD Studentships (deadline Feb 14th). Anyone interested in #AMR there's a project with my group to study the use of short interfering RNAs to reduce antimicrobial resistance in pathogenic bacterial species. tinyurl.com/56ym38a9

Fantastic sessions at Clifton Library today for Nottingham Festival of Science and Curiosity 🥳Our departments of NTU Department of Engineering and Dept of Biosciences, Nottingham Trent University along with PhD students ran fun experiments, including extracting DNA from strawberries, explaining how the brain works and why some animals can see in the dark! 👀

Join us for our Publishing Fundamentals webinar, dedicated to the publishing process! Hosted by #MGen Editor Conor Meehan & a Microbiology Society Publishing Editor, this event will take place on 4 March and is free for members to attend. Register here: buff.ly/3CPZCAR

I’m excited to announce my new position as Editor (Mentee) for #AccessMicrobiology which is part of the Microbiology Society journal portfolio. Happy to receive advice from any current or former Editors to help me succeed in this role (cross posting from bsky)

Congratulations to Conor Meehan and colleagues on their new publication showing some M. tuberculosis lineages may be less transmissible because of their longer initial non-infectious 'latent' periods. NTU Research NTUScienceTechnology sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congratulations to PhD students Rachel and Lottie, and MRes student Martyna on their publication with Gareth McVicker! NTU Research NTUScienceTechnology microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

Great to hear from Daniel Whiley (Nottingham Trent University) on Helicobacter suis in UK farmed pigs 🐖 and retail meat products 🥓 We are glad this session was after lunch! #MicrobialGenomics #Microbio25
