MRC Career Development Fellow at Newcastle University. Studying how pathogens control their genes
Fantastic opportunity to join a brilliant lab and wider collaborative team!
Georgia IsomInterested in joining our group in Oxford? We are looking for a PDRA with single particle Cryo-EM experience to help us figure out how sphingolipids are transported to the cell surface of Gram-negative bacteria. The deadline is 31st July. Informal enquires are welcome. Please share!
Huge congratulations to @rhyswg.bsky.social and colleagues for this behemoth of a paper shedding light onto the mechanism of pyocins and their impact on cell function.
L-type pyocins inhibit the BAM complex to kill without cell entry - Nature CommunicationsL-type pyocins are a class of bacteriocin-like proteins with antibacterial activity. Here, the authors show that these proteins kill the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa by inhibiting the BAM complex a...www.nature.comVery nice work on sugar transport during Proteus UTI

Well done team, I know how hard you have all worked on this!!!
Patrick MoynihanWe've been we've been working on this for quite a while now (hopefully published soon). Grateful to @proftracypalmer.bsky.social for concinving me & @lislowe.bsky.social that mycobacteria produce inter-bacterial toxins.
