@LukeeActon
Research Fellow @unibirmingham in @hall_lab @IMIBirminghan
🚨 PhD Opportunity @hall_lab! 🔬 Decoding Early Life Microbiota & Host Interactions 🧬 Ideal for those with bioinformatics/microbiome experience 🌍 Open to international candidates (MSCA mobility rules apply). 📅 Deadline: 18th Dec 🌐 Apply now: findaphd.com/phds/project/d…
We also have a industry-linked PhD position on Bacteroides and host glycans that will be advertised soon #glycotime🍭 The @IMIBirmingham is an amazing environment with lovely PIs doing loads of cool science, so please apply if you see a project you're interested in 🥼🧪
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 🧪✨
Very excited to have joined the @hall_lab at @unibirmingham! Looking forward to discovering cool things about #bifidobacteria and the early life #microbiome!
In #JVirology, researchers find that collateral sensitivity—when resistance to 1 antimicrobial agent increases sensitivity to another—bolsters the efficacy of a rationally designed phage combination to control the foodborne pathogen Salmonella enterica. asm.social/1Jh
Really enjoyed having the opportunity to share my work on #Phage cocktails at @VoM_UK 2024. Thanks to @DarrenSmithdx and team for organising! Some excellent phage work going on in the UK! @TheQuadram
So pleased to have passed my viva this week. Massive thanks to @DrRobKingsley and @EvelienAdri for their amazing supervision over the past 4 years! #phdone
Proud of the achievements of @LukeeActon over the last 4 years @TheQuadram, who by all accounts put up a stellar defence of his thesis. Thanks to external examiner Dr Marjan Van Der Woude @DerMarjan and internal examiner Dr Matt Gilmour who provided a stimulating viva experience
A great #PhD opportunity for anyone interested in Bacteriophages, Pathogens and Agriculture! #phage
Final week to apply for this fully funded with an enhanced stipend PhD studentship working with two research groups with expertise in phage biology / genomics and pathogen biology / genomics / host interactions in my group and @EvelienAdri biodtp.norwichresearchpark.ac.uk/projects/ratio…
Hello UK Phagesters, the dates of the second VoM-UK meeting is locked in on the 25th and 26th of Jan 2024. There will be a half day phage informatics workshop preceding the meeting on the afternoon of the 24th, supported by CLIMB, run by @milja001
Save the date. The next Microbes in Norwich meeting will be held on February 15th 2024.

Very pleased to have had the chance to talk about my work about designing better phage cocktails at #FEMS2023 in Hamburg. #phage @TheQuadram @QuadramSF
Only today at #FEMS2023, the one and only phage wizard @LukeeActon will be presenting about Salmonella and phages stuff (patent pending) OTS13 Virology, 15:00. Don't be late !!!
