I am hiring a Research Assistant microbiologist! We are new, expanding research group at @UccMicrobiology and @Pharmabiotic studying anaerobic gut bacteria. Deadline for applications 29th November. Apply here: ore.ucc.ie Job ID: 081111

🔊 We’re excited to co-host the AMR Data Symposium with @LSHTM_datastats! This event brings together global experts in generating, analyzing, and using quantitative #AMR data to inform decision-making. Registration is now open👇 bit.ly/3z4rxLr

To address the growing threat of drug-resistant #typhoid, we need to understand where and how resistance starts. The growing focus on genomic surveillance monitors the emergence and spread of this issue. Via @meganecarey & @CommsBio: coalitionagainsttyphoid.org/uncovering-the…

🔉Out today in @CommsBio - our genomic analysis of earliest H58 S. Typhi organisms isolated from returning travellers to the UK suggests this highly successful lineage emerged in 1987 in India, likely from a chronic carrier, and was already MDR. nature.com/articles/s4200…

We’re delighted to announce @meganecarey and Miss Eve Emes as the winners of this year’s #AMR Publication Prize. Join us on Tuesday to hear from the winners 🏆 📆 14 May 📍LSHTM ⏰ 13:00 BST 🔗 bit.ly/4dzaoZo Read more 👉 bit.ly/4b6dD9a

Last talk of this session learning with @bas_haak about the role of the #microbiome in cerebrovascular disease like stroke 🫀🧠, before, during & after Feacalibacterium prausnitzii and its butyrate production might protect from infection & help stroke patients #ESCMIDGlobal2024

T'was great organizing the 'Deciphering Microbiome Functions' Workshop at @lorentzcenter in Leiden with @MagnusPalmblad, @lucillabis, @tvdbossche @BlakeleyRuiz @j_henderickx. Had a great time meeting #microbiome researchers, attending brainstorming sessions last week. #DecMicFun

Dr Ashray Gunjur (@AGunjur) spoke to Professor @CraigUnderhill about the gut #microbiome and how it can help predict which patients will respond to #cancer immunotherapies 🦠💊 🎧@OncologyNewsAus youtube.com/watch?v=86H6e4…

I Chair the Sanger International Fellows Programme and I'm excited to annouce we have a new recruitment. The IFP supports the research and careers of LMIC scientists and gives them access to cutting edge genomic technologies and training. Please share! sanger.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Wellcome…

@sangerinstitute @LawleyLab Excited to start my research group at @UccMicrobiology and @Pharmabiotic in Cork. Advertising 2 PhD positions as part of my @ERC starter grant studying gut spore forming bacteria using computational and anaerobic microbiology techniques ucc.ie/en/microbiolog…

Efforts to identify microbial signatures of response to immune checkpoint blockade suggest that strain-level associations may be cancer type-agnostic, but cancer therapy-specific nature.com/articles/s4159…

@AGunjur @LawleyLab @sangerinstitute @ONJCRI @NatureMedicine Congrats Ash!! Amazing job getting this over the line!

It is an honour to share our @LawleyLab @sangerinstitute @ONJCRI work describing a high-resolution microbiome signature for combo immune checkpoint blockade (CICB) response, published today in @NatureMedicine! nature.com/articles/s4159… A 🧵...
