As we leave late summer behind & enter autumn & some normality, we have been able to get together to celebrate some awesome achievements by our @stevenrudder.bsky.social & @eh-hayles.bsky.social. In a Langridge lab tradition, both received their coasters of their 1st author papers in the group!🎉🥳🎊

Key Highlights:
• 401 SARS-CoV-2 lineages detected across the pandemic
• 5 Variants of Concern IDed with Alpha, Delta & Omicron dominating
• 4 distinct regional epidemic waves
• Clear variation in wave patterns between different regions
• 1st paper to ever come from @mmbdtp.bsky.social

And finally at @microbesng.bsky.social #MNGPopUp our @nisbetalice.bsky.social is chairing the last session including the keynote from @pathogenomenick.bsky.social titled “Pathogen surveillance through #metagenomics: the next frontier?" Looking forward to some more great #Genomics #ECR talks first!
July 3, 2025 at 2:24 PM
Next up from our group at @microbesng.bsky.social #MNGPopUp is @nisbetalice.bsky.social talking about #genomic insights into #ParatyphiA carriage, providing key evidence showing that this serovar must be studied as an unique pathogen and not be bundle together with other typhoidal #salmonella!
July 3, 2025 at 1:15 PM
Next up from our group at @microbesng.bsky.social #MNGPopUp is Claire Hill talking about a novel pipeline she has developed for analysis of Transposon Insertion Sequencing #TraDIS data which looks at the raw signal to gain information of essentiality in absence of a fully annotate genome! 🤩🧬
July 3, 2025 at 10:32 AM
First up from our group at #MNGPopUp is @stevenrudder.bsky.social about his work on improving High Molecular Weight DNA extraction from stool for @nanoporetech.com's long read sequencing using Revolugen's FireMonkey kit.

Who knew you could great such great 🧬 from 💩 for clinical #ONT diagnostics!
July 3, 2025 at 9:56 AM
And an amazing talk to kick off @microbesng.bsky.social #MNGPopUp by Leanne Sims @quadraminstitute.bsky.social with a talk on engineering Shewanella oneidensis to recover precious platinum group metals at a large industrial scale from waste!

Who is excited for an exciting day of #MicrobialGenomics with @microbesng.bsky.social #MNGPopUp #ECR conference?

We are! Our students @stevenrudder.bsky.social & @nisbetalice.bsky.social will be giving talks on their #PhD in addition to our new Postdoc Claire Hill. Day full of great science ahead.
July 3, 2025 at 9:23 AM
Gotta say... It feels like our year! Keep an eye out for more Lagnridge Lab news coming soon!

Thank you I3S for an fun few days full of salmonella science & networking with great colleagues & friends. Emma, Alice & @gemma-langridge.bsky.social have had an amazing time full of magnifique memories.
June 25, 2025 at 3:01 PM
Also a nice surprise for our @emmabeansworth.bsky.social to win an award for her poster showing that variations caused by genomic rearrangements can turn #virulence and #AMR on & off, just like SNPs! Its a honour for the group's communication skills be recognised by this #academic community
June 25, 2025 at 3:01 PM
Our @nisbetalice.bsky.social gave an awesome final & award winning talk at #I3Scongress showing 20 years of #typhoidal #Salmonella in England & Wales. Amazing achievement for her 1st ever international talk. Keep an eye out for this publication coming soon, in collaboration with @ukhsa.bsky.social
June 25, 2025 at 3:01 PM
Later our @nisbetalice.bsky.social will be giving the final talk of #I3S #I3Scongress which summarises enteric fever in England & Wales over the last 20 years - an amazing case summary of some of the hard sentinel surveillance work carried out by @ukhsa.bsky.social. Stick around it will be awesome👍
June 25, 2025 at 7:43 AM
Our @nisbetalice.bsky.social, @emmabeansworth.bsky.social & @gemma-langridge.bsky.social are having a magnifique time at #I3S. Currently they are enjoying talks in the #comparativegenomics session where Emma will also present her poster (102) showing genome rearrangement can impact #virulence & #AMR
June 24, 2025 at 12:45 PM
And our @gemma-langridge.bsky.social is so pleased to be able to make it here for the first time & looking forward to networking with everyone

... & maybe a few crêpes & walks on the beach
June 23, 2025 at 8:20 AM
Our @emmabeansworth.bsky.social will be presenting her latest work on the impact of genome rearrangement on #virulence & #AMR 💊 go see her at poster 102

Our @nisbetalice.bsky.social will closing the conference with the final talk looking at 20 years of #typhoidal Salmonella in England & Wales 🧫
June 23, 2025 at 8:18 AM
#I3S are you ready for the @langridgelab.bsky.social? After a long journey we are ready for a lovely few days listening to the latest in #Salmonella research, catching up with old friends & meeting new colleagues in St. Malo...
June 23, 2025 at 8:16 AM
Find out about COVID genomic epidemiology in Norfolk with @eh-hayles.bsky.social at poster 7 🔍 at the Norwich Health Innovation Conference 2025 today! 🩺 Also be sure to find @nisbetalice.bsky.social at poster 2 to learn about the incidence and carriage of typhoidal Salmonella in England and Wales! 🦠
June 4, 2025 at 12:47 PM
We are very excited for our @eh-hayles.bsky.social! She has been at #ABPHM25 presenting her latest work with @ukhsa.bsky.social's @ellarodwell.bsky.social & Claire Jenkins on #STEC Shiga toxin subtype stx2a (poster 41) & its prevalence in the UK between 2016-24

Keep watching for more exciting news!
May 23, 2025 at 7:03 AM
We had an awesome time at #MicroBio25 - exploring cutting-edge discoveries and sharing our exciting #science!🦠 @gemma-langridge.bsky.social even found herself instructing on the classic @microbesng.bsky.social wire!⏱️ Big thank you to the hosts for an amazing conference-catch you again next year!👋
April 3, 2025 at 7:36 PM
At #MicroBio25? Don't miss our @nisbetalice.bsky.social from @quadraminstitute.bsky.social at poster 301! 👩‍🔬 She's presenting her exciting research with @ukhsa.bsky.social on #typhoidal #Salmonella in England & Wales over to last 20 years, with some fascinating insights into bacterial carriage!🦠
April 2, 2025 at 10:22 AM
Our @eh-hayles.bsky.social was also in Manchester last week for the @ukhsa.bsky.social #UKHSA25 conference. Apparently there was some great discussions around current public health research and how we are preparing for the future, including how to make the health system more equitable for all
March 31, 2025 at 11:12 AM
Who's excited for loads of cool science @microbiologysociety.org #Microbio25 in Liverpool this week? Our @gemma-langridge.bsky.social & @nisbetalice.bsky.social are excited to be here. & Wednesday Alice (B301) will be presening her latest work looking at 20 years of enteric fever in England & Wales
