Looking for talented students to undertake #PhD projects in our lab. Send us your CV and cover letter or check out some of our advertised projects. #Polymers #Virus #Chemistry #GeneTherapy #DNA broadspectrumantivirals.com/join-us/

We’re #hiring! Looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join our team to work on high-throughput #polymer synthesis and #antiviral testing as part of our @ERC_Research grant edzz.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat… @UoBChemistry

Congratulations to @MacleodShannan for winning first place poster prize at #ICAR2025 🎉🎉🎉#AntiviralResearch #ISAR

Welcome to @clare_thomasVII who joins us as our dedicated virology lab technician!

Loving the new lab merch. Biggest question now is where to put them all.

Great to be able to celebrate as a whole group this Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone!🎄🎅🏼

Congratulations to @Scientist_Sam on being awarded an ERC Consolidator grant from @ERC_Research ! birmingham.ac.uk/news/2024/pres…

Running the first trials on our new @opentrons OT-2, looking to increase our rate of synthesis @UoBChemistry

New method rapidly determines whether a #virus is infectious or not, and screens viruses against #antivirals in minutes Paper at bit.ly/4f2LcLB Press release at bit.ly/4d6zmym @news_UB @Scientist_Sam @chembham @UoBChemistry @eps_unibham @unibirm_MDS

@UoBAccelerate are currently looking for commercial partners to bring the technology to market

This assay would have allowed for faster screening of interventions against SARs-CoV-2 during the #Covid_19 #pandemic and may be crucial in future viral outbreaks.

Congratulations to @ShannanMacleod and the rest of the @SamJones_lab on the publication of their FAIRY Assay manuscript in @Biomac_ACS toady. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

We’re looking to fill a #PhDposition in our group @UoBChemistry to start in September. Please retweet and share with anyone who might be interested. findaphd.com/phds/project/d…

Have you enjoyed @Macro2024? Enjoyed the mixture of great science and social calendar? Well we think you will love RAPS! Our next meeting is @durham_uni 4-6th of September. Registration is open now! raps.org.uk/raps-meetings

Great to be in London today for the Rideal Lecture @SCIupdate with @lee_fielding and @Scientist_Sam.

Great to be able to collaborate with @lee_fielding’s group and contribute our small part to this paper. Congrats all involved! @ShiyuWang18

We're hiring! Come join our lab at @UoBChemistry as a #Postdoc working on #polymers as #antivirals. Brand new labs in the Molecular Science Building (MSB) and a chance to learn how to work with viruses. edzz.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

Great to get the cover of @PolymChem for our most recent work on virucidal #antivirals! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Congratulations to Dr @RobertBagley for passing his PhD viva today! Massive thanks to Alberto and @Dr_MIP for examining. 🎉🎉🎉

In this work we show that it’s possible to access a #virucidal mechanism through attachment of poly(styrene sulfonate) to #gold #nanoparticles using a Brust-Shiffrin synthesis.

First paper of 2024 published in @PolymChem today! Congrats to all authors @BhebheLorraine @JungyeonKim92 @Luke00260 @ESuper42 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
