Very happy to see this out in @mbiojournal. Our little MspA in S.aureus affects LTA synthesis regulating LtaS processing via SpsB, with implications on cell cycle progression

Great to see my interview with Dr Lucy Thorne, winner of the Peter Wildly Prize out! Find out about her research on how viruses overcome our frontline defences and her inspiring outreach activities in Sierra Leone and the UK 🦠🧪🥼

@ContamClub BHI broth snowglobe? @MarciaBoura @NathanPalk Found a treasure on your bench @ClaireWoodall 🤓

Really happy to have the bulk of my PhD project out now in eLife elifesciences.org/articles/87026. Big props to my supervisor @ProfRuthMassey and co-author @NathanPalk for their patience and determination getting this across the line.

Latest paper from the lab, work of @Dora_Bonini with help from @alnaharialaa1 @SeanaDuggan Tarci and @HenrikStrahl Where we decipher how the tiny and tricksy MspA protein controls S. aureus virulence in such a pleiotrophic manner. 1/2 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to see our reviewed preprint out in @eLife 🥳

drop by poster p084 to hear all about TcaA cell wall remodelling in Staph from @NathanPalk #microbio23 @ed_douglas13 @ProfRuthMassey

Pleased to see this out, decided to give the new @elife publishing model a punt. Huge effort from @ed_douglas13 @NathanPalk @altwiley_dina @MarciaBoura and lots of our amazing collaborators. GWAS on Staph serum resistance, 7 new loci identified, one very cool one characterised.

@SciTechOlchfa1 @CMMBristol @Olchfaschool Very glad the students enjoyed the session and learning a bit more about antibiotic resistance! 🦠 🧪 🥼

Join the BME for success team for our first Discover Bristol event, a series for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic PGRs. We will be exploring Simran, a focused practice, in an interactive workshop and receive a tour of the ‘Journey of the Mind’ exhibition at Arnolfini gallery!

Novel method for detecting complement C3 deposition on Staphylococcus aureus ift.tt/zkLBv7T

Join us for our second session of Conversation Café, a safe space for minority ethnic PGRs to discuss their challenges and experiences! In this session, we will be focusing on Imposter Syndrome.

I’ll be running our first session of Conversation Café, a safe space for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic PGRs to have their experiences and challenges in Academia heard. Our focus is as a discussion and support group. Join us on for our first session on belonging in Academia.

Thank you @microbiosoc for organising an amazing conference and for the opportunity to present my poster. Really enjoyed meeting new people and seeing some excellent science🧪

📢OUR STUDENTS IN THE SPOTLIGHT📢 @nathanpalk @CMMbristol is investigating how S. aureus evades the immune system in bloodstream infections to identify targets for new treatments🦠 Find out more here: tinyurl.com/2vdha3na
