Our lab is offering 3 PhD projects this year across 3 different topics: antibiotic resistance mechanisms, evolution of pathogenic bacteria, and fundamental mechanisms of gene regulation.

@danielabarilla.bsky.social kicking off #BioPhyChrom2025 - a fantastic turn out too...

'We show that the VqmAj homologs can indeed detect (host autoinducer) DPO and, in response, activate the lytic pathway. Our observation indicates that jVP882 is a member of a large family of globally-dispersed quorum-sensing-responsive temperate phages.'

How are bacterial transport machineries regulated by external cues? @brochadolab.bsky.social &co identify environmental chemicals that regulate #transporter transcription, identifying the TF Rob as a key modulator of #EffluxPump expression in #Ecoli #AMR @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/46pUM9Q

Just few days left to register for this chromosome biology fête! 🧬🧬🧬

We loved being back on campus for Master's hour on team working! @unibirmingham.bsky.social

The students created content to highlight the excellent research from one of our customers! It's all about the Long Reads 👀 @graingerlab.bsky.social @fozzz21.bsky.social @imibirmingham.bsky.social #MicroSky

Super excited to share the peer-reviewed version of the KorAB paper. Amazing to work such talented collaborators and thanks to the reviewers for making the work even better!

If you're interested in chromosome biology (DNA folding, gene regulation, replication, polymer modelling and more) we're organising the below this autumn. It'd be great to see you there. Please share if you can. :-)

2x professorships available in Manchester Institute of Biotechnology including in Microbial Engineering area (broadly defined to include microbiomes, environmental biotech etc) — join us!
