Looking for a PhD position to start in Oct. 2024? We have a wide range of fully funded studentships available in our research cluster at the moment. We'll update this 🧵 with more in the coming weeks. Please contact the supervisors directly for more information

On our way home from an amazing #SalmonellaGRC meeting. Enjoyed great science on tour with the team in the hills of Tuscany 🇮🇹👍😁

Thank you so much to everyone who attended #etox2023 in Scotland last week, which went down as a classic 🙌🥳 Congrats to all the prize winners @BlowerLab @RayPrescott13 @melghazaly96 @MariliaTorrado

@BuczekWeronika @melghazaly96 @sheffielduni Nice work 🙌

I won the BEST POSTER OVERALL prize at the Faculty of Science Showcase 2023 with over 200 poster presenters @sheffielduni 💪 We were judged based on quality of the poster, clarity of presentation and communication of our research to a non-specialist. I had a great time!

Are you interested in bacterial toxins and effectors? Registration is now open for the 21st European Workshop on Bacterial Protein Toxins! etox-meetings.org Spread the word and submit your abstract by 31st Jan

We are pleased to announce that ETOX 2023, the 21st European Workshop on Bacterial Protein Toxins, will be held in Scotland, 25-29 June 2023. Registration opens 1st December. Apply early, this will be a great meeting! etox-meetings.org Please retweet

Congratulations to the newest graduate from the Humphreys Lab! Dan Stark passed his viva with flying colours.

@MCB_Sheffield @collins_lab @melghazaly96 We found that DNA damage induced by typhoid toxin of Salmonella activated a tumour suppressor mechanism called senescence. The SASP secretome from the senescent cells contained Wnt5a and TGFβ ligands, which damaged cells in the infection niche and promoted Salmonella infection

We are very excited to share our latest work that we released on BioRxiv today. Check it out: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #ICSA #HELSI #AcademicChatter #senescence #hostpathogeninteactions @MCB_Sheffield @collins_lab @melghazaly96

Many thanks to @Boc_Lab for hosting our PhD student @baseer_nadia at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Oxford and for their constant support and encouragement throughout her research placement!🔬

So sorry I missed out 🤦‍♂️

Congratulations @melghazaly96 for winning best talk at yICSA Senescence Symposium at Queen Mary University of London #ICSA #yICSA Go Mohamed! 😁🏆🙌

So happy our 4th UK Cellular Microbiology Network Meeting for ECRs at the University of Warwick is a 2-day event (ukcellmicro.org). The meeting never disappoints. Excellent Keynotes Theresia Stradal (Braunschweig) and Christoph Dehio (Basel). Get involved!

Daniel presenting our most recent data on host senescence responses to typhoid fever in the Hic-Vac annual meeting at Chesham, UK. The Hic-Vac network promotes work with Human infection challenges, directed by Professor Peter Openshaw and Professor Andrew Pollard. @hic_vac

Congratulations to @melghazaly96 who passed his PhD viva yesterday - nice work 🥳

Amazing host-pathogen interactions talks over the last two days #UKcellmicro2021. Speakers joined us from Australia, USA, Germany, UK this morning. Looking forward to the next UK Cellular Microbiology Network meeting! 🙌

‘Hi’ wasn’t from me but my friendly daughter 👋 Loves an audience. Her first tweet aged 1 😬
