I have three PhD studentships available currently through the MIBTP DTP warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fa... on different aspects of the respiratory microbiome, interaction with mucin with @LucyICM the resistome with @mmcbuckner and pathobionts with @Bacterioskeptic
PhD projects now open in Birmingham as part of @MIBTP_BBSRC - funded and open to home and overseas students! Are you interested in bioprocesses, antimicrobial resistance, virulence, or biofilms?
I am also co-supervising projects on antibiotic accumulation in bacteria with @JessicaMABlair (warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/…), virulence and AMR in Staphylococcus with @StaphLab (warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/…) and using sound to combat biofilms with Paula Mendes (warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/…)
Good morning from day 2 of #ASBE7 - we continue this morning with talks on metabolic engineering, transport across membranes, and biosensors
In Brno for @EFBiotechnology @EFB_EBBS Applied Synthetic Biology in Europe VII tomorrow! But first an evening in the company of Janacek
New paper! What happens when you apply vibration to bacteria? We asked this question for E. coli and revealed that attachment decreases. This response requires live cells and involves membrane potential.

Please RT! fully funded PhD available with me and the wonderful @TheSullivanLab to explore how a clone of Staphylococcus capitis has evolved to infect neonates

📢 We are hiring! 📣 A 15-month research fellow position, working with myself, @Overtonlab and Jayne Lawrence looking at liposome interactions with the bacterial cell envelope. Thanks to @PRC_Heidelberg for funding. Come join us! jobs.ac.uk/job/DJS237/resear…
New paper! Deactivating efflux pumps results in major changes to bacterial physiology. We demonstrate that knockout of the major efflux pump AcrB results in changes to membrane potential.

This adds to the growing story of the links between energy metabolism, physiology, and bacteria evading antibiotics and generally being troublesome.
This project was loads of fun and a real team effort - thanks to @emilywhittle17, @Horabz, Alex, Pauline and
@SJElement - @JessicaMABlair and I are looking forward to continuing the story!

Huge congratulations to Alex for passing his PhD viva! A great project on different aspects of recombinant protein production from molecular interactions to bioreactors. Big thanks to Neil Dixon and @PatriPEsteban for examining!
Great day today at @ChemEngBham graduation - huge congratulations to Asma, who graduated with her PhD on recombinant protein production!
