Hi all, I have a postdoc position (3 years) in my group on a very challenging topic: co-cultivation of sponge cells and bacterial symbionts. Looking for someone with experience with marine invertebrate cells AND bacteria. Thanks for sharing!

MICROBIOLOGY SEMINAR SERIES
Ph.D. SPEAKER EVENT

Shona Uniacke-Lowe
University College Cork, Cork, Ireland
Supervisor: Paul Ross

Title: The antimicrobial potential of the deep-sea fish microbiome

Shona will present her work on the screening of bacterial isolates from the microbiomes of deep-sea fish for antimicrobials, with a particular focus on finding novel bacteriocins. The deep-sea is one of the largest ecological habitats on Earth, yet one of the least explored, and so has great potential as a source of novel antimicrobial metabolites.
