Congratulations to all the winners of the SIMS PGR symposium best talk and poster prizes! Best talks: Xiaohao Xu, Arturo Monzon, Victoria Richardson, Jessica Gates Best posters: Katya Freytag, Deepa Mehta, Stephanie Ng, Rebecca Marrow, Diana Marin Correa, Dora Angelova, Maike Henschel.

Such a lively poster session at the SIMS PGR Symposium! It’s great to see the amazing science and innovative research our students have been working on. A great opportunity to share ideas, spark discussions, and celebrate the exciting research happening across SIMS!

What an amazing first session at the SIMS PGR Symposium! Fantastic start to the day with engaging talks from our PhD students and keynote. Now we move on to our first poster session. Well done to everyone involved for all the hard work and dedication that went into preparing for the symposium!

So many amazing scientists at the @shigellameeting.bsky.social Looking forward to the keynote talks from Philippe Sansonetti and Karen Kotloff!

So happy that Jamieson McDonald was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship to continue his work in my lab, tackling persistent Shigella infection. Congratulations also to Laura Dunn, from @tetherin.bsky.social lab for securing the same award to study HIV latency. www.kcl.ac.uk/news/kings-r...

Our new article on diabetic foot–associated E. coli (DFEC) is out! We show that DFEC strains are highly diverse, frequently antimicrobial-resistant, and carry a broad range of virulence factors, highlighting their potential to cause severe complications in patients. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Well done Sydeny @sydneylmiles.bsky.social and lab teams! This set of epidemiologically chosen complete genomes will be a valuable resource for scientists working on S. sonnei! doi.org/10.1099/mgen...

A public resource of 15 genomically characterized representative strains of Shigella sonneiShigella sonnei is rapidly emerging as the dominant agent of shigellosis, an enteric disease responsible for a significant burden of morbidity and mortality worldwide.

Thrilled to have contributed to this new Medical Genetics and Genomics book. In Chapter 8, I discuss how nucleic acid and genome-based techniques transformed diagnostics, pathogen characterisation, patient monitoring, and tracking of infectious diseases in the population. shorturl.at/OfpQe

So happy that members of my lab, Zakia, Victor and Ziyi all had chance to show their work at the UK Cellular Microbiology meeting, and with fantastic feedback! @ukcellmicro.bsky.social

Well done Victor for the flash talk at the UK Cellular Microbiology meeting @ukcellmicro.bsky.social

Well done Victor in giving an outstanding flash talk at the UK cell micro meeting @ukcellmicro.bsky.social

Great start of the UK cell Microbiology meeting with prof Stuart Neil's keynote. @ukcellmicro.bsky.social

@codendall.bsky.social opening up the UK Cellular Microbiology meeting!

Full house at the UK cellular microbiology meeting, with 120 attendees coming in!
