We have a funded PhD project in the lab in September! Joint with P&G, with time in their research labs too & a mini MBA. We will be looking for and characterising new glycoprotease enzymes #glycotime findaphd.com/phds/project/n… (UK students only, unfortunately)

Moving onto Mycobacterium abscessus with Kieran Bowran discussing the diverse ESX substrates M. abscessus encodes. #Microbio24

S.aureus secretes several #bacteriocins to compete with other bacteria. Stephen Garrett et al. review the roles of S. aureus’ arsenal of proteinaceous toxins and #T7SS in interbacterial competition🦠⚔️. academic.oup.com/femsmicrobes/a…

We are looking for a new PhD student to join us on our adventures in computational sequence and structural analyses of bacteriophage proteins atkinson-lab.com/phd-position-a… You will be part of the new and exciting SciLifeLab DDLS research school

Psyched to share our new paper highlighting the main findings from my PhD now published in Nature Communications We identified a novel L-arabinose transporter and demonstrate the role of the sugar in fine-tuning virulence of Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli 🦠🤩 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Very happy to see the final work from my PhD now published in microLife. If you’re interested in secretion systems we found several new T7SSs in diverse Gram positive bacteria.

Come check out our paper on novel variants of the Type VII Secretion System! With Stephen Garrett and Tracy Palmer.

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

Last week I passed my viva! Thank you to both Luke Allsopp and Kesha Josts for being the examiners and also Tracy Palmer for supervising these past 4 years. Thanks to all colleagues and collaborators that made this possible! 🍾🥳

Happy to share this story from my PhD Foster Lab & Steve Renshaw - with Rebecca Hodges (she/her) in Ken Bayles’ lab & Josie Pyrah - we show that oxacillin & tetracycline display synergy against S. aureus biofilms & during infection in zebrafish! Molecular Microbiology Sheffield University of Nebraska Medical Center link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Funded PhD studentship available in my lab collaboration with Luke Allsopp and @janedaviescf. Get in touch if interested. Please RT findaphd.com/phds/project/p…

🚨We are hiring! A MRC-funded PDRA position to study novel anti-phage systems & their evolutionary dynamics in P. aeruginosa, in collaboration with Freya Harrison. If you are passionate about phage-bacteria interactions & evolution, apply now ! tinyurl.com/bddz4z44

New preprint of our work investigating the ability of enteric pathogens to utilise D-ribulose as a nutrient source and improve fitness is out now! Check it out below!

The lab is now up and running at New England Biolabs New England Biolabs! I'm looking for a postdoc to study phage defence systems. If you'd like the academic freedom to publish but the resources of industry, then take a look 🤓😃 neb.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NEB_Care…

Still time to apply! Join us in Glasgow—be part of my team. Closing date: Feb 24th

Come and do a PhD with me and Paul James to find some new exciting enzymes! #glycotime findaphd.com/phds/project/n…

Fully funded PhD position available to join our team! We will focus on untangling the mechanisms used by antibiotic resistant E.coli to colonise the host gut. Highly interdisciplinary project with Karrera Djoko and ⁦Manuel Banzhaf⁩. Please share findaphd.com/phds/project/m…

Pleased to share that my main Sir Henry Wellcome Fellowship project is now published! This study provides mechanistic insights into Zorya II function. Grateful to all who contributed! Read it here:tinyurl.com/ZoryaII

I have a fully-funded, four-year PhD studentship opportunity in my group: lnkd.in/e3p3sjKg. This is Synthetic Biology first and foremost, replacing oil-derived diols, which are really important industrial monomers used in thousands of the objects we use every day.

Our recent work is now published Nature Communications and concludes a really great project started during my PhD. In summary, we identify two unique mechanisms of D-ribulose utilisation in distinct A/E pathogens for the first time! Check it out nature.com/articles/s4146…
