Throwback to April when our researchers attended the MoSMed CDT Conference at Durham University (funded by EPSRC). Congratulations to Keir Pebody from the group for winning Runner-up Best Flash Talk 👏 👏 👏 Looking forward to MoSMed Conference 2026! #molecularscience @MosmedC

We had a fantastic time at Newcastle University's #DiscoverFestival this weekend! A hands-on activity using methylated spirit and fruit to extract cells containing #DNA, sparking curiosity and great conversations with families and young science enthusiasts. 🍓🥝 #Outreach

Emma Wadforth gave an oral presentation of her PhD research at the RSC CBBG Postgraduate Symposium in Aberdeen, UK. A fantastic experience for showcasing Emma's work at the end of her #chemicalbiology #PhD journey, funded by the ERC, and for connecting with other researchers☀️ 🧪

Thrilled to welcome Dr. Sarah Barry from King's College London as part of Women in #ChemBio seminar series sponsored by @BiochemSoc. Dr. Barry leads a research group focusing on bacterial metabolism and natural product biosynthesis. #WomenInSTEM #ChemicalBiology

Lots of fun at @UniofNewcastle Discover Festival today! Our team of scientists have been doing some fun pH experiments with guests, and explaining why scientists always wash their hands. Still time to join us until 4pm in the Hadrian Building, Lindisfarne Room.

This week, I had a pleasure presenting a flash talk and chairing at @MosmedC Conference. Big thanks to the organizers, my supervisors, Prof Mike Waring and Dr. Céline Cano, as well as my group @NCL_MedChem for support. Can't wait to come back next year!

And finally, congratulations to our presentation prize winners, Lizzie and Charlie, for delivering both style and substance. A very high standard of scientific work all round! Thanks @Quotient_Sci for sponsoring these prizes and our Advisory Board for presenting them! #mosmed25

Next up, we have our poster prize winners. Well done Ella and Jan for putting together such informative and well presented posters. These prizes were sponsored by @PlecoTx and @thermofisher, to which we are very grateful! #mosmed25

Congratulations to our conference prize winners! First up, our flash talk winners. Well done Jemima and Keir for delivering such polished talks only a few months into your PhD projects! Thanks to @AlmacGroup for sponsoring these prizes! #mosmed25

Two fantastic days at the MoSMed Conference full of high quality talks, posters, and discussions! Durham Castle was a stupendous venue! Thanks to all our students, staff, and partners for making this such a great event. Looking forward to the 2026 conference already! #mosmed25
