Our work on rapid detection of antibiotic resistant and susceptible cells using ribosome phenotypes is out today! We used fluorescent imaging and changes in bacterial structure to classify single cells with high accuracy. @AchillesKap @oxmartinschool doi.org/10.1038/s42003…

I’m working on detecting a faster test for antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and we’ve launched a Zooniverse project so people around the world 🌍 can help us learn what these bacteria look like 🔬! @AchillesKap @sligomicrobe

TThe Zooniverse@the_zooniverse · Feb 7, 2023

We’re launching 🚀 the Infection Inspection project today! Help develop a faster test for antimicrobial resistance 😷 by looking inside bacteria 🔬 🧫 that have been treated with antibiotics! zooniverse.org/projects/conor…

Love my new building and my group! Thankful to have found a great place to grow as a scientist for the next 3 years.

There's a couple of hours every evening when the biophysics office of the new Kavli institute is covered in spectra! It seems the polished edges of the glass are acting as a prism. #light #spectra #optics #scienceiseverywhere

Malaria is one of the big killers of young children globally. A new vaccine against malaria showed an efficacy of 77% in a trial in Africa! This is very good news. This vaccine was also developed by the scientists here at @UniofOxford. eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2…

With the news today of @US_FDA recommending a pause in using @JNJNews #COVID19 vaccine, there have been lots of ?s about what is being seen in these rare patients. Time for a #hemetweetorial on VITT (vaccine induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia). 1/x
