An inspiring afternoon session at #SHIMR2025 Symposium.
Chaired by Dr Marion Hogg, the session began with Professor Tom Wishart offering a look into the proteomic profiling of #synapses, exploring how molecular vulnerability might shape #neurological stability.

New preprint from @mohamedeladawy.bsky.social

This represents the main body of work from Mohamed's thesis. He's carried out the largest study, to date, on G-ve (11 different genera) CAUTI-associated bacteria in Egypt. #UTIsky #Microsky #AMR

It's been a pleasure to supervise Mohamed's PhD studies.

Super proud of my group presenting both posters and invited talks at @microbiologysociety.org today! Lots of great stuff from @aurelianachilengue.bsky.social @danwhiley.bsky.social and Kate Cox!
April 1, 2025 at 6:10 PM
And last but certainly not least from a busy Tuesday for the @arom-ntu.bsky.social was @dralhubb.bsky.social talking about drivers of acquisition of antimicrobial resistance in urinary tract infections
April 1, 2025 at 6:14 PM
Then we had my talk from the @arom-ntu.bsky.social on Heicobacter suis in UK pigs and retail meat products
April 1, 2025 at 6:07 PM
Next from @arom-ntu.bsky.social and @conmeehan.bsky.social group was Kate Cox presenting her work on “Creating a molecular epidemiology framework for Mycobacterium leprae”

And finally, last talk of the day is
... me! I'll be talking in the "Urogenetial Microbes in Health and Disease" at 17:00 where I will go through our preliminary project looking at where AMR genes/strains/species potentially come from during treatment (5/5) #microbio25.

Come see them all!!
