Really delighted to see Lindsay Hall, our Chair of Microbiome Research, recognised as a trailblazer as she joins the Goalkeepers community 🎉 wired.com/sponsored/story/me…
Huge congratulations to Professor Lindsay Hall @hall_lab, who has been named as one of the UK’s 2025 Goalkeepers by @WIRED Consulting and The @gatesfoundation. Lindsay sits alongside other visionaries of global development, taking on the world’s biggest problems.
I am ecstatic to announce that I’ve been awarded a
@wellcometrust Early Career Award! I couldn’t have done it without everyone who helped me along the way! I will join @Dunn_School to do some exciting science on efflux pumps for the next 5 years!
Thrilled we are now able to share our investigation into whether new AI protein design tools can fool DNA synthesis screening! 🥳 Was a privilege working with amazing folk at @Microsoft@TwistBioscience@idtdna@IBBIS_bio@RTX_News Raytheon @aclid@Battelle on this timely issue🧬
Identifying & mitigating an AI-enabled biosecurity vulnerability. Confidential effort on biosecurity red-teaming leads to distrib. of "patches" that bolster DNA synthesis screening. Article: aka.ms/AAtoa8e Work continues. @MSFTResearch@TwistBioscience@aclid@EngBioRC
Giving these another airing... projects on bacterial pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, and basic mechanisms... all with a hint of gene regulation #PhD#opportunities
PhD projects available in our lab all listed in the below link. All focus on bacterial gene regulation, in the context of basic understanding, disease, or anitbiotic resistance. Deadlines in January...

🚨Exciting Postdoc Opportunity in Microbiology😃!
Join our team at the University of Warsaw to explore how Staphylococcus aureus interacts with the human hemostatic system, forms biofilms and evades the immune system. For more info, go here 👉 shorturl.at/M43hh or get in touch! 🙂
Excited to share this work from @LKorshoj in @NatureComms on a new bacterial scRNA-seq platform we used to demonstrate S. aureus biofilm heterogeneity and transcriptional adaptations to immune cell populations. rdcu.be/d1gAw@UNMC_PathMicro#biofilm
I have three PhD studentships available currently through the MIBTP DTP warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fa... on different aspects of the respiratory microbiome, interaction with mucin with @LucyICM the resistome with @mmcbuckner and pathobionts with @Bacterioskeptic
A project in my lab with @JessicaMABlair seeks to understand how efflux pumps can be used to improve organic solvent tolerance in industrial processes, and how this can be balanced against energy demands. warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/…
Have you seen that @oldjoeclock is blue? He is helping us highlight #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek! Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria becomes resistant to antimicrobial agents, meaning antibiotics become ineffective and increasing disease risk. who.int/campaigns/world-amr-…

MIBTP PhD applications are now open! There are three associated with my lab. 1) infant gut microbes and human milk oligosaccharides with @hall_lab 2) respiratory microbiome nutrition with @MikeyJ 3) mucus-producing organoids with @DrMicroMandroid
link below 🧪✨
I have a funded PhD opportunity through MIBTP to look at pneumococci in adults with @MikeyJ (also check out two other projects with Mike and Prof. Joan Geoghegan on other respiratory pathobionts) link here: warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/… Happy to be contacted with questions
MIBTP doctoral training partnership has had renewed funding, congratulations to that team! Keep an eye on the website warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/… and FindAPhD.com for the details. I'll be advertising 3 PhD projects on different aspects of the respiratory microbiome
Colleagues in Microbes Infection and Microbiomes birmingham.ac.uk/research/mi… and across the colleges here will have opportunities too
Reach out to people if you're interested in the opportunity!
