👀👇 New work on sexually transmitting Shigella (press-friendly: bit.ly/4bBarEL) From continued collaboration with @clairejenkins2.bsky.social @ukhsa.bsky.social, @pducambridge.bsky.social co-lead @hsalje.bsky.social, a talented student Julia Marshall www.linkedin.com/in/julia--ma..., and others! 🧫🧬💊

Are you interested in how your genomics work can meaningfully feed into addressing the UK National Action Plan on AMR? 🧬🧫 🦠💊 Then check out our handy personal view out today in Lancet Microbe … 🧵1/n www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Call for #poster #abstracts is open for the #Shigella meeting @shigellameeting.bsky.social thru Feb! Secure your spot by #registering! #ShowUsYourScience #MicroSky #IDSky 🦠 🧫🔬 www.shigella2026.conferences-pasteur.org/call-for-abs...

We are looking for a new lab administrator (0.5 FTE) - come and join in pushing forward our research and impact in infectious disease! www.cam.ac.uk/jobs/researc...

Come and join us in Paris 2026 to talk all about Shigella!

📢 Thrilled to see that our work on chikungunya virus (CHIKV) epidemiology in Brazil is out in @thelancetinfdis.bsky.social 🧵

Out this week from @virologyhouldcroft.bsky.social and colleagues 👀

I hope all my fellow #shigellaphiles have 20 - 24 April 2026 blocked out in their diaries for @shigellameeting.bsky.social next year in Paris! In the meantime, check out (and join) our starter pack to start community building now 🧫

This one has been a long time coming: we delivered this through institutional changes and the team incubated two babies 👶 👶 alongside this phenomenal work dissecting the genomic epidemiology of a globally important Salmonella serovar causing iNTS disease worldwide! 🧬 🧫 💊

This week, @emiliefinch.bsky.social and @jandraor.bsky.social from our team delivered a hands-on workshop on infectious disease modelling. Participants from KAUST were introduced to the fundamentals of transmission dynamics. Huge thanks to all the participants for their curiosity and engagement.

@ksbakes.bsky.social is representing PDU at the GRC Microbial Population Biology conference this week introducing the AMR through time and space session - check out the work of the other attendees here:

Smashing time at the @pducambridge.bsky.social retreat this week!

Ipswich looking glorious in the sun. Brilliant 48h with the @pducambridge.bsky.social solving the pressing questions in infectious diseases, competing in penalty shoot outs and cooking up a storm #PDURetreat

Final one before the weekend ... check out this amazing new preprint from @charlotteechong.bsky.social where she uncovers what the dominant forces are shaping accessory genome dynamics in the WHO AMR priority pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa 🧫 🛡️💊

Check out the latest from the lab on Sexually Transmissible shigellosis where @lewiscemason.bsky.social and co unpick why this relatively obscure disease re-emerged endemically in the 21st Century 🔬 🧫 🕵️ 🧬

It's the 3rd week of Women’s History Month and we want to introduce you to Dr Angkana Huang [Hat], Postdoctoral Research Fellow @pducambridge.bsky.social Read about her research project and how she is involved in making science more equitable in the Global South ⬇️ www.gen.cam.ac.uk/womens-histo...

Check out this amazing new NextFlow GWAS pipeline (based on pyseer) by our very own @rositea.bsky.social, a first year PhD student in the PDU!

A way to use cross sectional serological data to reconstruct the changing circulation patterns of pathogens. All in an R package.

Great way to start the year! A paper in @nature.com by our amazing @noemie presenting a way to use sequences to identify pathogen lineages, quantify their fitness, and identify potentially important genes/snps . Works across bugs, even with minimally and biased set of sequences.

Great way to finish the year! Paper by our @huangat.bsky.social in @pnas.org showing that relying on seroconversions in cohorts will usually lead to horribly biased #dengue incidence estimates whereas models relying on age data from local hospital typically robust.
