Great science-filled afternoon at @microbiologysociety.org HQ watching finalists present at the Early Career Microbiologist of the Year Finals! All the speakers gave fantastic talks on a wide variety of subjects 🦠🧫🔬

Rather than asking what genomic elements co-occur with phenotypic resistance (which we know will likely be resistance genes) we adapted the standard GWAS approach by incorporating a genomic ‘masking’ step prior to association mapping that removes resistance genes and their associated LD regions 3/

Sunny train to Newcastle on my way to #ECConf25 @microbiologysociety.org

Today marks the end of my research visit to the Corander Lab @uio.no
A great trip with some amazing sights, wonderful people and some very cool science!

Abstract deadline for the @microbiologysociety.org ECR summer conference is end of next week! Submit before May 4th and join us in Newcastle

Excited to be in Nottingham for the first #EastMidsAMR ready to hear about all things AMR

Great morning listening to the Sheppard lab DPhil students present their first year of work at the Biology graduate symposium

Dad and brother loved it!

Pleased to be presenting this afternoon in the Genetics and Genomics forum at 4pm, come along to hear about genomic relics as an alternative approach to combat MDR E. coli #Microbio24

We found that complete T6SSs were lost from MDR clades of ST410 and ST131 via deletion and insertion events, respectively. The parallel loss of T6SSs in MDR lineages shows that these systems cannot be responsible for the enhanced displacement capabilities of MDR clones. (2/2)

New paper! 📣 We looked at the prevalence of type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) across E. coli and characterised the systems present in renowned MDR lineages ST410 and ST131

Thesis submitted! #PhDone

Still managed a fun game of IMI rounders this evening despite the heat 🥵
