Talk slots full but we can take late breaking poster abstracts until August 7th. Hope to see you in York to hear about your chromosome story 🧬🦠🧫 eventsforce.net/biochemsoc/f...

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. :-)

This infographic highlights the extreme lack of antibiotics available for treating mycoplasma infections compared to many other bacterial pathogens.
Antibiotics and bacteria
Congrats to all who make our School a great place to work and study, and to Carsten Kroger @KroegerLab and our EDI Committee for working on our successful submission. 👏👏👏😀 @tcddublin @TCDEquality #AthenaSWANIreland
We have 2 fully funded PhD studentships available through the new Yorkshire Biosciences DTP (starting Oct 25) - please share! Both projects are focussed on #phage that infect #Cdifficile
We're looking for an Assitant Professor in Microbiology to join us @tcdgenmicro! Come and join our growing team. tcd.ie/microbiology/r… tcd.ie/hr/vacancies/ Job ID: 037876. Closes 31st January
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... findaphd.com/phds/?Keywords…
I can highly recommend Paul's lab's stuff... and I bet a lot of you didn't know GTAs existed (I didn't).
We have a fascinating preprint just out, revealing the widespread packaging of bacterial genomic DNA into capsids in the human gut:bit.ly/3B2ajza. Major denizens of the #microbiome implicated with broad potential impact on bacterial evolution and horizontal gene transfer

We have a post-doc opportunity for a molecular microbiologist available. Please contact directly for an informal discussion. jobs.ac.uk/job/DKH037/res…
Well done Ksenia, it's been a pleasure, let's get your paper written now 🙂
Today I became Dr. Ksenia! 🥳 Thanks a lot to my PI Dave Grainger, Steve Busby and all Grainger group @GraingerLab It was awesome experience, best 4 years of PhD I could ever imagine 💫 And thanks to @JessicaMABlair and Yulia Yuzenkova for a wonderful viva 🙌🏻 @IMIBirmingham
Well done @mulecc - your PhD work just published 😀nature.com/articles/s4146… I think we've only scratched the surface with this... H-NS allowing bacteria to direct their own evolution. Exciting times ahead...
I am running in the Microbiology Society Prokaryotic Division elections for "Any Microbiologist", "Genetics and Genomics" or "Molecular Microbiologist". I would love to give back to the society, please consider voting for me using the link you were emailed (members). closes 11/06
If you haven't been to this before please consider coming along. The meeting has been running since 2012 and has been continually excellent.

#Postdoc on #combating #AMR and #Pseudomonas with Prof. Jane Davies and me. Closing the 3rd of April @janedaviescf @ImperialNHLI @ImperialMed jobs.ac.uk/job/DGH163/res…
If you think this is cool, join our lab, I am always looking for an enthusiastic postdoc.
