Bacterial Cities

❓ Do you know what is growing in this dish? ✅ It is a #Biofilm! 🎦 Watch our microbiologist @pirneote perform an experiment to see how we study biofilms which are communities of bacteria: buff.ly/3WrNg8R Audio described video: buff.ly/46baO4Z #BiofilmWeek

Congratulations to Dr Mattie Pawlowic, who received the 2024 Early Career Research Award at Drug Discovery yesterday! Mattie discussed her journey so far as well as her latest research into cryptosporidiosis #BiochemAwards @goldenpipette

WHO lists #StrepA as pathogen for which we urgently need a vaccine. We are working on a universal glyco-conjugate vaccine together with the @IVIHeadquarters @LSHTM and @GIB - thanks to funding from @rightfund & @open_phil

@EvolvedBiofilm @LeidenScience @UniLeidenNews @MicroClockERC @LeidenBiology Congratulations!

A team from @uodMedicine has completed Scotland's first ultrasound thalamotomy - a non-invasive operation that will allow people suffering from uncontrolled tremors due to Parkinson's disease to control their movements. For patients like Ian Keir, this is life-changing. 👇

@Pirneote You are welcome! A pleasure:-)

Go check this paper if you are interested in Bacillus subtilis and the role of public good sharing to support biofilm formation in different ecological contexts

I am so happy to see the last part of my PhD project published on @MolMicroEditors! This was a real tour de force, but we finally did it. Thank you again for your unconditional support @bacteriacities 🙏
