🌟 Huge congratulations to @GloxThera, a BIA member, for securing £1 million in grant funding from the PACE-AMR initiative! 👏 #AMRweek This funding will accelerate the development of their precision #antibiotics, harnessing bacteriocins to combat drug-resistant bacteria. With #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR posing a growing global health threat, this breakthrough couldn’t come at a more crucial time. Read more about this fantastic achievement ➡️ bioindustry.org/resource/glox-…

👏So proud of this achievement! Distinct bacteriocin profiles emerged between E. faecium and E. lactis with species-specific adaptations. Hospital E. faecium were enriched in enterocin A, bacteriocins 43 (or T8) and novel ones. We need more strain-level bacteriocin studies!

Come and join a really exciting project - a collaboration between @cavignone_r @GSK and us here at Strathclyde on #Streptomyces #EngBio #SynBio #CompBiol #MtabolicModelling pls pass on to any interested modellers/computational biologist pls RT

I’m looking to hire Two Post-Docs @StrathScience to use #engineeringbiology to improve #sustainability of industrial #Streptomyces fermentations strathvacancies.engageats.co.uk/Vacancies/W/14… if you’re at #Microbio24 and want to chat about them, drop me a DM

Excited to share that we partner with the @IVIHeadquarters @LSHTM & Gyeongbuk Institute for Bio Industry (GIB) to advance our glycoconjugate vaccine development of affordable #StrepA vaccines for all! #glycotime - Thanks to the @righfund for funding! @UoDLifeSciences
