🎓 We've just been celebrating our winter graduates! We’re incredibly proud to send exceptional new professionals into their careers! Congrats to all of you - we’re excited to see what you achieve next! 💊✨ More ➡️ go.qub.ac.uk/WG2025 @QUBelfast @MHLSQUB @QUBStudents

📣Happy to share the latest publication from our lab: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Here, @microscottic highlights how environments rich in natural polymers can be a excellent sources of potent plastic-degrading microbes. A promising step towards sustainable plastic bioremediation!

We are looking for a new highly motivated Research Fellow to help develop our peptoid-peptide hydrogels as a long-acting injectable for tuberculosis prevention @pharmacyatQUB Please find details below👇paying close attention to job criteria. hrwebapp.qub.ac.uk/tlive_webrecru…

Thanks to #AI enhanced TEM, we can now see previously missed details of #phage morphology

🆕 | GCU's Professor of Infection Prevention and Control Gordon Ramage and microbiologist Dr Ryan Kean have published an important review on fungal pathogens. @GCUReach @GCUSHLS @GCU_BIO @GCUNursing @ramage_gordon @ryankean29 @NatureRevMicro @SHIPGCU gcu.ac.uk/aboutgcu/unive…

⏳Deadline approaching! There's not long left to apply for a FULLY-FUNDED PhD studentship with @Stephen_A_Kelly, focused on using machine learning to reduce and prevent infections in kidney transplant patients. 📝Find out more and apply by 28 Feb at: go.qub.ac.uk/UTIPhD

It's Phriday! Huge thanks to our student Maria for the #phage cake - it was as delicious as it was cool looking!

It’s my honor to work with this bunch on the project❤️Milestone 1 wrapped up ✌️ #enlamb #antifungal #nanomedicine @pharmacyatQUB @The_MRC @qubengagemhls_d #medicineaccess @DNDi @StGeorgesUni @LiverpoolCEIDR @LivUni @QUBelfast @LSHTM @APTlivuni @FillingV @aljamal_wafa @Hussein_Kenaan @RossDuncan27

Thank you to everyone who attended #MicrobioIrish23 and contributed to making the meeting a success! We look forward to welcoming you to our other events throughout 2024: microb.io/2OXAKwJ.

We have an exciting opportunity available @GCUReach to join my new lab within the @SHIPGCU group to work on biofilm control. This is a fully funded industrial (Unilever) BBSRC CTP PhD studentship. We'd love to hear from qualified individuals 🔬🦠🧬findaphd.com/phds/project/u…

The chemistry of our away kit 👕 Marking the 95th anniversary of the world-changing discovery of Penicillin, Kyle Vassell joined the @KillieCommunity team at Sir Alexander Fleming’s former school, Kilmarnock Academy, to share the story 🧬 ➡️ bit.ly/3RGYkNl

Fantastic community engagement from @KilmarnockFC - hopefully some future budding microbiologists (and killie fans) at @GCU_BIO !

We are delighted to welcome our first intake of Junior Editors to the team! Meet them here: academic.oup.com/lambio/pages/e… #ECRs #societypublishing @RJmicrobe @Sanjanam27 @RanMei2 @Romy_Mouka @AndrewLaloo @VuongAntiMicro @ay_yra @Thomacillin

Such a great opportunity to present my research on plasma-activated water at the Applied Microbiology International ECS Symposium today @AMIposts

In the final 15 minute talk of the afternoon session, Ross Duncan’s work on delivering antimicrobials to the site of MRSA infection using liposomes 🦠

Ross Duncan from @QUBelfast presents development of a liposome system with vancomycin for #MRSA #biofilm treatment and potential synergy with cold atmospheric plasma @AMIposts #LAM_ECS2023

Excited to present my poster on plasma-activated water and bacteriophages at the AMI ECS conference in Belfast. Come see me at poster #09 @AMIposts

Thanks to @QUBScholarships and @MicrobioSoc for supporting me to attend the amazing conference. #microbio23 My poster is P696, if you are interested in liposomes and phage therapy, please come and have a chat with me😊

New @BiofilmJournal publication from @BrendanFGilmore and colleagues explains how cold atmospheric pressure plasma-antibiotic synergy in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms is mediated via oxidative stress response sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Was an absolute pleasure to attend @EBF2022 in Mallorca last week with @Thomacillin, @Erin_SA_Magee, @L_Mc_Clenaghan and @morton_aled! Managed to see some familiar faces and make some new connections as well! @BrendanFGilmore @pharmacyatQUB #EuroBioFilms2022
