Nice work from Mahnoor and Barry with the ever present support of our friends @HindCharlie @HealthcareUKHSA Construction of a drug sensitised Candida auris strain biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Deadline to submit an abstract and avail of the early bird registration for the BSAC Antibiotic Resistance and Mechanisms workshop is this Friday. Always a great meeting with lots of opportunities for ECRs! bsac.org.uk/antibiotic-res…

Really exciting to see the launch of the Translational Innovation Hub Network to address key challenges around lung health in CF.

I'll be giving a joint webinar for The Scientist, on using cell-free synthetic biology for #AMR. Oct 10th, 2024 9:30-11:00 AM ET (2:00-4:00 PM BST) Research from @QM_SBBS @QMULSciEng @HealthcareUKHSA @BBSRC @royalsociety @BiochemSoc the-scientist.com/spying-on-the-…

New pre-print from the group in collaboration with @HealthcareUKHSA. We report new generation modified azole antifungals against multidrug-resistant Candida auris | ChemRxiv - go.shr.lc/4edhRxc

Next week we will be launching our #2024DiagnosticInnovations funding call to combat #AMR. If you are an innovator in this space, please keep following our updates and you can also sign up to be informed of when the call is live: eu1.hubs.ly/H0csgST0 @lifearc1 @innovateuk

New pre-print from the group - C7-substituted Quinolines as Potent Inhibitors of AdeG Efflux Pumps in Acinetobacter baumannii. The work was led by Yiling (Ivy) Zhu in collaboration with @HealthcareUKHSA biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@DrHHNZ @UCNZ I heard someone describe phage numbers by holding up a glass of water and saying 'there are more phage particles in this glass than there are grains of sand on the entire planet'. That gives some context!

I am giving a public talk in a pub next week (raising the bar) for @UCNZ. There are no slides. What are your favourite ways of explaining big numbers like 10^30 or 10^31? Any top tips? #phage #SciComm

We are #hiring! We have two PDRA positions available on a new Wellcome trust funded project. This exciting research will investigate how #Candida albicans undergoes immune evasion and is a collaboration with @theRAD_lab jobs.kent.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?i…

Working in Research and Innovation? Act now to have your voice heard! The 2024 Research and Innovation workforce survey is now live, giving you a unique opportunity to influence UK government and UK research and innovation policy. bit.ly/451stM8

Delighted to see the first direct output from our @The_MRC @NewtonFund #antibioticdiscovery project with @HealthcareUKHSA and @UPTuks QSAR Reveals Decreased Lipophilicity of Polar Residues Determines the Selectivity of Antimicrobial Peptide Activity pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

PLEASE SHARE We're hiring for a permanent HEO role within the AMRHAI Reference Unit! Details: healthjobsuk.com/job/v6334529 #AntimicrobialResistance

Let’s get behind this important campaign by @WHO to raise awareness of #AMR by sharing the powerful stories of #AMRsurvivors. These stories demonstrate the urgent need to develop new antimicrobial medicines to combat resistance. 🔗 eu1.hubs.ly/H094NW30 #AntimicrobialResistance

How are we tackling the threat of antibiotic resistance? 🦠 As the UK publishes an AMR Action Plan we look at UKHSA's role in this vital aspect of health security: ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2024/05/08/wha… #AMR

New action plan to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR) commits the UK to: 🔵 reduce use of antimicrobials 🔵 strengthen surveillance of drug resistant infections before they emerge 🔵 incentivise industry to develop the next generation of treatments gov.uk/government/new…

@IliasKounatidis thank you for putting her through her paces ;)

Congratulations to the newly anointed Dr Mahnoor Hassan! Barry and I are very proud supervisors. Thanks to Ilias and David for examining

Barry and Mahnoor have been doing really creative work, finding new ways to identify antifungals. Thanks to @HindCharlie for enabling another fantastic collaboration between @KCLcancer_pharm and @HealthcareUKHSA

@KameshwariChen1 Huge congratulations Kam!!

Thank you to our invaluable collaborators, universities (U of Kent and Queen Mary) and encounters with brilliant scientists. ‘Little me’ thinking doctoral studies were out of my reach and yet here I am. What a journey! On to new heights and challenges with job applications!

So happy and grateful to announce that I have passed my PhD viva! Thank you to my examiners @DrMikeBooth and Prof Dan Mulvihill for a challenging and enjoyable discussion. To my supervisors Dr @sjmoore505 and Prof Mark Smales - thank you is an understatement for all your support.

Great PhD project in #antimicrobial discovery & #Immunology - come and study with us in a stunning part of the country & work with amazing tardigrades & other metazoans! 10 days to the closing date..... @PlymUni #AntimicrobialResistance #NaturalProducts jobs.ac.uk/job/DGS764/phd…
