Lister Summer Studentship on Pathogen Interactions in Cystic Fibrosis:Oxford Road

🚨 The Whelan lab is currently recruiting for a 6-week summer undergraduate student as part of the Lister Institute's Summer Studentship scheme. 🚨 The student will work along side a Postdoc to study interactions between pathogens from the cystic fibrosis microbiome. More info & to apply please see:

Health inequalities which impact the treatment of urinary tract infections Find out about this studentship opportunity on Health inequalities which impact the treatment of urinary tract infections.

PhD studentship available.

The project is VERY interdisciplinary, combing social science, biophysics and microbiology to understand inequalities of UTIs treatment and replicate them in vitro to help choose the correct antibiotic.

Pls share, home students only #AMR #MicroSky

Thanks! Ordered 😁

Lunch was incredible with huge cakes and time to settle in for @lillycummins.bsky.social keynote talk, on the genomics relics of MDR lineages of E. coli. #EastMidsAMR

We've also brought our famous BUZZ wire game, with prizes for the 3 fastest times ⚡🏆

#EastMidsAMR #MicroSky #AMR #WAAW

Ok, it's finally here, the 1st #EastMidsAMR conference. Really looking forward to a day full of AMR talks, grant pitches, policy and networking. Hoping it goes well and allows us to be more cohesive in our approach to AMR research in the East Midlands

Next week we will be holding our first full East Midlands AMR Network conference. This is an expanding network of >100 researchers across 8 institutes and NHS Trusts in the region. If you want to follow the meeting, there is a new feed #EastMidsAMR. Wish us luck!

Thanks for the list. Could I be added too please? Thanks!

Molecular mechanisms of re-emerging chloramphenicol susceptibility in extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales - Nature Communications In this work, authors probe the molecular mechanism of re-emerging CHL susceptibility in Malawian Enterobacterales isolates, where they identify a stable truncation of resistance genes by insertion se...

Can chlormaphenicol be reintroduced in to Malawi for treatment of sepsis? We looked into the mechanisms behind the rise in chlormaphenicol susceptibility after being removed from use, and found it was potentially mediated by insertion sequences. #microsky #AMR

Research Assistant - Impact Of Microbe-Pathogen Interactions On The Health Of Individuals With Cystic Fibrosis:Oxford Road

🚨 The Whelan lab is hiring! 🚨 We're looking for a Research Assistant to join our lab at U of Manchester. We're seeking someone with experience in microbiology & microbiome to support our growing group. Note this isn't a postdoc role (though keep 👀 for those announcements soon!) #Microsky 🧪 🧬 💻

Today we're running the 1st in person event for the East Midlands AMR Network. This is event is ECR-led and organised by @danwhiley.bsky.social, @bethjames.bsky.social, @mwilde.bsky.social and Hawa Ahmed. Looking forward to an afternoon of excellent talks on AMR research in East Mids #MicroSky

Amazing! Congratulations!!!

Does choosing one antibiotic impact how resistance to another evolves? Short answer is yes!

Was great contributing to this work led by @dralhubb.bsky.social , @blackpassiflora.bsky.social and @bethjames.bsky.social (along with others not on bluesky).
