🚨 🧬 Updated preprint on the completed BASEL collection - what's new? Some fun with bacterial immunity and a new P22 relative infecting E. coli K-12. A thread 🧵

Exciting update and developments for and within our @Leicester_Phage which will become the Becky Mayer Centre for Phage Research - we will be recruiting new staff early next year so please watch this space! le.ac.uk/news/2024/dece…

Join us in Paris on April 8th-10th for the 2025 Symposium on the Immune System of Bacteria 🥖🍷🦠🧬. Excited to welcome these amazing speakers at @institutpasteur . Registration will open beginning of November. Abstract deadline February 28. Stay tuned.

📢 Historic day for Portugal and phage therapy! 🇵🇹 A framework was approved, allowing magistral preparation of personalized phage products. 🙌 Grateful to Jean-Paul Pirnay, my group @AzeredoLab Portuguese patients, and doctors who signed a petition inspired by the Belgium model.

Get ready to dance, our paper – Phage DisCo: targeted discovery of bacteriophages by co-culture – has been pre-printed! 🪩 This has been a really fun project to work on with @implosian, @baym, @nquinoneso, Kesther and Carmen! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

PhD projects at University of Leicester Including three phage projects .... With @MarthaClokie , and me. Including an iCASE project with Dr Abhinav Koyamangalath Vadakkepat , using cryoEM le.ac.uk/study/research…

Why @Leicester_Phage - alongside our phage colleagues globally, are doing the work we do articulated in 30 seconds!

This week is world #AMR awareness week. #Phages are one of the most promising therapeutic agents in combatting AMR and a rapidly rising field of research. Read or re-read our special issue on phage research from an interdisciplinary perspective! 👇 liebertpub.com/toc/phage/5/1

PhD studentship with @milja001 and me at @Leicester_Phage . Part of larger CF Trust Hub led by @JoJofoth Selection of bacteriophages for therapeutic use in cystic fibrosis-associated Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections at University of Leicester

When experiments don’t work... build a phage costume! 🎃 Happy PHAGEOWEEN!!! 👻🧬#Teamwork

The CPT's Phage Naming Service is now available at phns.phagetech.org! This service lets you quickly check if a phage name already exists in either NCBI or PhagesDB.

🌍🦠 Next week is World Phage Week 2024! 🗓️ Join October 25-26 for a webinar series by the Ibadan Bacteriophage Research Team! @IbadanPhageTeam Theme: Rethinking Antimicrobial Resistance: Bacteriophage Therapy and the One Health Paradigm

My lab is up and running and just needs enthusiastic phage biologists to populate it!
