Ok, it's finally here, the 1st #EastMidsAMR conference. Really looking forward to a day full of AMR talks, grant pitches, policy and networking. Hoping it goes well and allows us to be more cohesive in our approach to AMR research in the East Midlands

Join us at the Microbiology Society Annual Conference in Liverpool next year!
We have organised a session on sex, HGT and symbiosis across eukaryote microbes to explore genetic recombination in these organisms. #MicroSky #ProtistsOnSky

🚨New publication alert🚨First paper out from our group, and first first author paper for @bethjames.bsky.social. Really pleased to see this out Can we use collateral effects to determine the best antimicrobial regimens? We think we might... see 🧵below

Second we have Research Assistant @bethjames.bsky.social who is presenting her work on using evolution and collateral effects of AMR to predict the best antibiotics to use to improve treatment options/outocmes and limit emergence of resistance. Plus a sneak preview of our current work #microbio24

Shame to be missing #microbio24, however the lab group will be well represented! Tomorrow afternoon/evening @mwilde.bsky.social (A200), @bethjames.bsky.social (A195) and Charlotte Cornbill (A194) will be presenting posters on their work. Please go see the posters and chat with them about their work!

Fantastic talks today from @mwilde.bsky.social, @bethjames.bsky.social & @conmeehan.bsky.social (among many others) at the NTU/UoN AMR event today! Really epic projects and ideas.

Thanks @dralhubb.bsky.social & @blackpassiflora.bsky.social for organising!

Congratulations to @bethjames.bsky.social on her first preprint. With @blackpassiflora.bsky.social, @conmeehan.bsky.social and @dralhubb.bsky.social.

Huge proud supervisor moment and first for me today, my former masters student, now research @bethjames.bsky.social been given an oral presentation at the BSAC ARM Workshop in December. I know she's going to smash it, but I think I'm going to be more nervous than her! Can't wait!
