Really enjoyed being part of the "Future Medicine" panel at @latitudefestival.bsky.social. A fun challenge to think about what the next 20 years of medicine will look like and how to bring together genomics, AI, vaccines, diagnostics and public health to make better decisions for patients.

@ugiatucl.bsky.social microbial genomics are at #SMBE2026! S14 - Marina Escalera-Zamudio - mapping fitness landscape of SARS-CoV-2 🧬 S13 - me/Pooja Swali - tracing 2 centuries of evolution in BFDV 🦜 Open 10a - Cedric Tan - Ranavirus evolution across hosts 🐸

Congratulations to Dr Cedric Tan for successfully defending his PhD on the eco-evolutionary drivers of viral host jumps. What a pleasure to work with Cedric over many years with fellow supervisor @proffballoux.bsky.social.

We are advertising a 3-year Evolution Education Trust funded #PhD studentship at @ugiatucl.bsky.social UCL to investigate the genomic history of infectious diseases preserved within historical pathology collections. Details: www.findaphd.com/phds/project.... #findaphd #EET

Even working in infectious disease genomics, it came as a bit of a shock how often toddlers get sick. So myself and a set of colleagues, expertly led by @virologyhouldcroft.bsky.social, set out to review the evidence. How much infection is expected, does it increase with nursery attendance and why?

There's still a few days left to apply for our AI-Intervene PhD project mapping the drivers of avian influenza using viral genomics, bird migration data and AI-powered phylodynamics. Come join us! Details below. #FindaPhD #LondonPhD #genomics

We’re recruiting a PhD student as part of the AI-Intervene DTP to join FlightPath, an exciting project combining viral genomics, bird migration data, and AI-powered phylodynamics to forecast how avian influenza evolves and spreads. Project Details 🦠🧬🦅🦆🌎: tinyurl.com/2v4xaxmx.

We are recruiting! If you like evolutionary biology, microbial genomics, and host-pathogen interactions we have a PhD opening at @ugiatucl.bsky.social using population-scale metagenomics to map global phage diversity and uncover evolutionary signatures that could point to new antimicrobials.

A fantastic day of talks and discussions. Thanks to the organisers and @gensocuk.bsky.social

Excited to say we’re hiring 😊. We’re looking for a post-doc in ancient pathogen genomics to join our friendly supportive team in London at @ugiatucl.bsky.social. Start date January 2026. www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...
