Registration and abstract submission is open for the Mechanisms of Inflammation Symposium 2021!! Join us (in person!) at the Edgbaston Conference Centre, Friday 8th October, including keynotes from @cwonglab, @adbyrne, and @ActonLab. Register here: bit.ly/3COLHWB

Last November, @Paz_ArBou, a water systems microbiologist @PHE_uk presented her work at the @JAM_talks held @IMIBirmingham. Find out more about her research on our blog. microb.io/2QeJcX5

JAM talks will no longer be taking place next Friday (20th March) due to the current COVID-19 outbreak. We will reschedule the speakers for another date in the future.

Fantastic talk from @DrMarwa_Hassan about antibiotic-associated virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms!

In our latest blog post @E_M_Townsend talks us through her work on phage and the gut microbiome which she presented at @JAM_talks last year: microb.io/2vM3wI1

I think it is time to get my @JAM_talks presentation done 😁. Come and say hi this Friday @IMIBirmingham and hear about bacterial biofilms & #AMR in #cysticfibrosis 🦠🦠

This time last week I was getting ready to give my presentation at @JAM_talks. Just want to say a big thank you to the guys for hosting me. I had such a fun time in Birmingham. #phdlife #jamtalks #firsttalkof2020

Followed by a great talk from @ChristenaRene about the identification of a novel peptidoglycan hyrolase in E. faecalis

Another 2 fantastic talks! First we had @CKIJ present her work on how bacterial products can enter the host and influence immune cells at these sites

Excited for @JAM_talks 😊

First JAM talks of 2020 starting now! We have a great drinks selection thanks to funding from @SfAMtweets Thank you also to @MicrobioSoc, and @IMIBirmingham for funding these talks!

The first lucky Noodlococci to be imaged! 😍

Then a great talk from Martijn Riool (@martijnriool) on novel surface strategies for combating biomaterial-associated infections

Another great set of JAM talks! First was Paz Aranega Bou (@Paz_ArBou) who gave a talk on the prevalence and dispersal of Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales in hospital sinks

Thank you @JAM_talks for having me. It was a pleasure to share my work with so many other PhDs. Hope to see you again. #Outreach #AMR

Followed by a really interesting talk from @alienbaird on how climate change is affecting fungi in forests!

Great talk from @chrfrohlich on the evolution of OXA-48 in sub-MIC conditions!

We had our first JAM talks session of the 2019/2020 season which was great thanks to our two fantastic speakers @ErikBakkeren & @E_M_Townsend. I want to say a massive thank you to our sponsors @MicrobioSoc @SfAMtweets @IMIBirmingham and the UoB International partnership office.

Followed by another tremendous talk from @ErikBakkeren about Salmonella persisters contributing to the spread of plasmids in the gut - terrifying stuff!

Just kicked off the 2019/2020 JAM talks with a fantastic talk from @E_M_Townsend about the potential of bacteriophages for anti-biofilm therapy
