How does Enterococcal QS activation impact infection outcomes across different host microenvironments? To answer this as fluid dynamics change over the course of infection, @harisantypas.bsky.social led our first foray into enterococcal infective endocarditis w/ some surprisingly results. #microsky

Thrilled to see this incredible story unfold! My team played a small part in this journey, and it’s exciting to see such an important mechanism finally elucidated. Huge kudos to Brenda Tien, @ronni.bsky.social, @kimingeneva.bsky.social and everyone involved! 🎉
Check out how 💪🏼Enterococci💪🏼 use lactic acid to suppress the inflammatory response and promote virulence. Project started by Brenda Tien during her PhD and brought home by the always excellent @ronni.bsky.social! 🥳

This is now open to international students as well, so please share even wider! Deadline is 14th Feb. Anyone interested please get in touch, happy to chat with anyone about this project.

#AMR #MicroSky
PhD studentship available.

The project is VERY interdisciplinary, combing social science, biophysics and microbiology to understand inequalities of UTIs treatment and replicate them in vitro to help choose the correct antibiotic.

Pls share, home students only #AMR #MicroSky

We have a fully-funded PhD position to develop and test a mathematical model that can explain how metal ions influence microbial coexistence. Will suit candidates with a natural sciences, maths, ecology, or microbiology background who can imagine themselves doing some wet lab and some modelling.
