“The STkinase force is strong with this one” freshly minted Dr Megan Sambrook got her lightsaber and PhD today ⁦@MRCDTP_IBR⁩ ⁦@lifearc1⁩ ⁦@WarwickLifeSci⁩ ⁦@BMSatWarwick⁩ thanks to ⁦@WvSchaik⁩ & ⁦@Allister_Crow⁩ for examining.

Fabulous £1.7M investment in interdisciplinary AMR research @warwickuni by David Sterling to establish the Sir Howard Dalton Centre for Translational Mechanistic Enzymology lead by @dowson_c @pstansfeld for details see bit.ly/3sfFOhm

The ideal government should be like our lab stocks of cells: stable and competent

An incredible end to an incredible week! Two brilliant conferences and two poster awards 🎉🥳 A great time at the @InnovationMids Sulis Showcase event and the Molecular Microbiology conference @unibirmingham Thanks to the organisers of both for putting on such fantastic events

@davidroper2 @GraingerLab @Biolluminator Fran & I are representing 💪

@GraingerLab @Biolluminator Sorry I could not attend #molmicro2022 this year but I had made a promise to look after Mrs Roper senior (96) over this weekend which took on new urgency after a dash to hospital this morning. She’s fine but in overnight. Some members of the Roper lab should be at the conference

...and we're off with #molmicro2022 @Biolluminator starting the talks with a story about quorum sensing and metabolism in vibrios.

My first in-person poster at 2022 Molecular Microbiology conference! Come say hi!

Small but mighty! This is a video of a killer T cell of the immune system destroying a monstrous ovarian cancer cell. I recently captured this data on a spinning disc confocal microscope.

Top 1st student Francesca Gillett from my group @WarwickLifeSci with her prize winning poster at the @MIBTP1 symposium @uniofleicester today! Look at that grin!

Young Dr to be @Nic_Briggs flys the flag for our cell division research at the @MIBTP1 student symposium @uniofleicester today.

Too many bad things happening in the world at the moment, so here's a few new useful lab prints - including an Imperial Star Destroyer 15 mL tube rack. atomicvirology.path.cam.ac.uk/prints.shtml #maker #labhack #3dprint #ApologyAcceptedCaptainNeeda

NEW—An estimated 1.2 million people died in 2019 from antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, more deaths than HIV/AIDS or malaria. #GRAMPaper reveals the scale of antimicrobial resistance (#AMR), now a leading cause of death worldwide: hubs.li/Q012sG-t0 #AMRSOS

@MaskewK @davidroper2 @WarwickLifeSci @warwickAMRlab Imagine how I feel being the eldest in that photo! 😂

@davidroper2 @WarwickLifeSci @warwickAMRlab omg Dave this makes me feel so old!!

Four generations of mbio students going through my lab ⁦@WarwickLifeSci⁩ ⁦@warwickAMRlab⁩

Phenomenal paper just published in Science persuasively demonstrating that EBV causes most if not all multiple sclerosis. Phenomenal epidemiological design and technical achievement. 👏 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Really nice study by @orietta_mas and Malcolm Winkler's lab identifying a new accessory division protein called ZapJ and further elucidating the essential role of EzrA in the #pneumococcus. ht @JelleSlager frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

We have made a paper to show all the protein-protein interactions in gram negative PG creation to see just how dynamic, complex and interchanging these polymerase machines are, which have allowed bacteria to live in varying conditions. With @davidroper2 mdpi.com/1422-0067/22/2…

Get up to speed on pneumococcal cell division with this excellent review by Malcolm Winkler @davidroper2 et al frontiersin.org/article/10.338…
