Intact cell lipidomics using the Bruker MBT lipid Xtract assay allows the rapid detection of glycosyl-inositol-phospho-ceramides from Aspergillus fumigatus - now published in Molecular Omics pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Our department of life sciences Away Day - was brilliant!

Very proud of postdoc Ines Inés Imperial Department of Infectious Disease CBRB for completing the societal engagement development course and gaining her well deserved certificate! Superb achievement and looking forward to learning from her ideas! 🎉

Collectively, our work contributes to a better understanding of the dynamic relationship between T6SS and CPS in A. baumannii.
Congrats again to Nico 🎉🥳 & thanks to Loriane and Mary 🙏 for technical assistance & help w/ TEM .... end
Enjoy the read 🤓

Many years ago we started working on Bradyrhizobium, a slow-growing plant symbiont. Little data available but the 80s papers helped! Our 1st work is just out in BMCmicro: 'The distinct cell physiology of Bradyrhizobium at the population and cellular level' tinyurl.com/mu65bszz

The follow-up of our January Science advances paper! I am sure that you are all willing to know how survive the superintegron inversion? here it is , congrats Loot Céline Egill Richard journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

It’s been an absolute honour and pleasure organising David Holden’s Retirement Symposium together with Teresa Thurston. David was the first PI I worked for fresh out of undergrad and I credit pursuing a PhD and my future scientific career to his unwavering mentorship and support.

Last few days to apply for a postdoc position in our lab on mobile genetic elements, gene flow and antibiotic resistance. Closes next Monday.

I'm delighted to share a new Policy Forum article in Science Magazine Developing transmissible vaccines for animal infections science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. Thanks to U.S. National Science Foundation for funding the workshop and to all of the participants for being co-authors

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…

Fun and exciting day of science from alumni of one of the most creative and influential microbiologists of his generation.

Looking forward to hearing some #awesome #Microbiology at David Holden Retirement Symposium what a send off! CBRB CMBI Postdocs Imperial Medicine Imperial College London

To promote a diverse pool of speakers/reviewers (etc), we introduced at SISB2024 a list of PIs in bacterial immunity searchable by career stage, country and gender.
