Had a fantastic time sharing my experience on 'how to become a lecturer' with the young scientists at @KCLImmunoMicro @kingsmedicine @KingsCollegeLon. Loved hearing the journeys of @CamillaGodlee and @Tummers_Bart! Excited to see where the passion of our trainees will lead them!

PhD project with @AvaKhamseh and me, taking our recent #scRNAseq data from tumour initiation in a #zebrafish model, integrating with mammalian datasets to trace the cancer stem cell state through the development of cancer. @EdinUni_IRR @EdinUni_IGC ai4biomed.io/research/proje…

An exciting PhD opportunity in a great collaboration between @noelresearchlab and my lab looking at heart infections in zebrafish. Details below. Deadline is the 13th December. findaphd.com/phds/project/m…. @BatesonCentre

It was such a pleasure to catch up with the zebrafish community #zdm17 and thanks @sloliveira for documenting :)

Day 2 of the zebrafish disease model meeting #Zdm17 in Lisbon! Such a great meeting so far and an opportunity to connect with the vibrant community of scientists working on zebrafish as a model system! Looking forward to my talk this afternoon!

There are still a few days to apply for this post. Follow the link below for more info!

Thrilled to announce that we have a postdoctoral position available to join the lab and investigate persistent Shigella infection! Do reach out if interested! Deadline: October 3rd Link: shorturl.at/Ndx6X Please retweet! @kingsmedicine @KCLImmunoMicro

So proud to see the microbiology creek we have put together in the Department of Infectious Diseases @KCLImmunoMicro @KingsCollegeLon. First joint meeting of the academic year with @COdendall @PeterWSHill @Joewanford and @VinTorraca labs! Already looking forward to the next!

There are about 2 weeks left to apply for this postdoctoral position to work on Shigella infection @KCLImmunoMicro! Contact me and apply if interested!

Congratulations to Dr Anna Schurich and Dr @VinTorraca from @KCLImmunoMicro @KingsCollegeLon who both recently received New Investigator Research Grants from @The_MRC. Follow the link to find out more about their research projects ➡️ kcl.ac.uk/news/researche…

Torraca lab doubled up today! Unlocking new bench space!

Fantastic talk by Victor Ajumobi on the plans and preliminary results from his PhD project! Lots of promising ideas.

Great to be @UoW today as a guest speaker for the Genomics and Infectious Diseases Symposium. Lots of interesting talks in the first session, covering biofilm formation, Mycobacterium tuberculosis regulation of translation, Shigella pathogenesis, and UTI.
