Join us for today's School of Microbiology Seminar Series where Kardokh Kaka Bra who will introduce a new tool (SPINGO2) to improve species-level taxonomic classification of microbiome datasets! @UccMicrobiology @MicroPGUCC @Pharmabiotic @UCCResearch @SEFSUCC @UCC
We are delighted to invite you to join us in celebrating World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, hosted at Kane G18 from 11 am onward by the @UccMicrobiology , @micro_SCRUM and APC/EDI
We are excited to announce the resumption of our School Seminar Series, with our first talk of 2025. Carlos Belloch Molina will talk about genetic engineering of K. marxianus to maximise industrial protein production. @UccMicrobiology @Pharmabiotic @MicroPGUCC @SEFS @UCC
Congrats to @yujunhy66450881 and @kkelseywhite who both defended their PhD theses this week. Thanks to the examiners @AShkoporov @PaulineDScanlan @michelagambino1 @PaulinaDeptula for great discussions on phage biology, evolution and interactions. @UccMicrobiology @Pharmabiotic
Thanks to everyone who donated, bought doughnuts and purchased raffle tickets for our @Cork_Simon fundraiser!Together we raised €675 @UccMicrobiology @micro_SCRUM
📢Reminder; join us today at 2pm for our final School Seminar of 2024. It's sure to be really, really fascinating work from @JensWalter15 @UccMicrobiology @MicroPGUCC @Pharmabiotic @SEFSUCC @UCC
We are very excited and honoured to have Prof. @JensWalter15 delivering our final School Seminar of 2024. Jens will tell us about attempts to restore a microbiome of 'non-industrialized' type diet. @UccMicrobiology @Pharmabiotic @MicroPGUCC @UCCResearch @SEFSUCC @UCC
From preprint to @PNAS.... Short-sighted evolution of virulence for invasive gut microbes: From hypothesis to tests | PNAS pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107… #evolution #virulence #gutmicrobiome @UccMicrobiology @Pharmabiotic
For anyone interested in the #evolution of #virulence and the #gutmicrobiota I've a new preprint perspective on the topic in collaboration with Fernando Baquero and Bruce Levin 👇ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vie… @Pharmabiotic @UccMicrobiology @SEFSUCC
Another great match in the books. Congratulations to the student team on their 6-4 win against the staff. This year had lots of drama - some inclement weather, a few staff members switching sides and lots of goals!
Looking like a great afternoon for some soccer! See you all soon!
The annual staff vs. students soccer match is almost here! Make sure you come and join us tomorrow for a great match. Don’t forget to donate: idonate.ie/fundraiser/UCC… as we are trying to support a good cause.

Well done to Emmett Conroy who was awarded the prize for top ranked graduate from the School of Microbiology, 2024. @UCCResearch @MicroPGUCC @Pharmabiotic @SEFSUCC @UCC
Join us today 2.15pm in the Council Room for one of our favourite days of the year! Our 3rd year undergraduates will present posters of their work from their #AntibiocsUnearthed investigations of soil microbes to inhibit the growth of #ESKAPE pathogens. @MicroPGUCC @micro_SCRUM
Join us TODAY in Boole 1 for a great discussion on doing a PhD in @UccMicrobiology!
@MicroPGUCC is running an informationn session for anyone interested in finding out more about the PhD process @UccMicrobiology Wedesnday November 20th in Boole 1 from 5-6pm. @SEFSUCC
Grateful to my PhD examiners @NobregaFL & @colinhillucc for challenging me until the end of this journey. Huge thanks to my supervisors @JenniferMahony7 & @VanSinderenLab, and to the lab members & friends who made this day special 😊🥳
Huge congratulations to @AGrafakou who passed her PhD viva yesterday. A thesis dedicated to discovering novel anti-phage systems in Lactococcus as part of a larger project funded by @dsmfirmenich @Researchirel Thanks to @NobregaFL @colinhillucc for a great discussion
