Our School Seminar Series resumes on Thursday 25th January when Dr Stephen Jackson from Alan Dobson's group will talk about the metabolic potential of a deep sea sponge microbiome with a view to novel drug discovery. Note the new venue! (C_ELECT_L2)

The big day has arrived!!

The annual Staff V Students soccer match.

Raising funds for Shine, who support people affected by mental ill health.

Fascinating work from Franzi Huff, presented at our School Seminar Series, developing a genetic toolbox to interrogate quantitative traits in K. marxianus strains.

Reminder: 2pm today, Monica Cazzaniga will deliver our latest seminar and will tell us about diet, the gut microbiome and host response to Listeria monocytogenes resistance. Really looking forward to this!

MICROBIOLOGY SEMINAR SERIES Ph.D. SPEAKER EVENT University College Cork, Cork, Ireland Supervisor: Cormac Gahan Title: Unveiling the Role of Diet, Gut Microbiome, and Host Response in Listeria monocytogenes Resistance Monica will present her work on Listeria monocytogenes. She will explore the potential of chitin and its derivatives as dietary intervention molecules and their promising impact on both the host and the pathogen. Moreover, she will outline the crucial role of the gut microbiome in Listeria resistance, drawing insights from two distinct infection models. Thursday 16th November 14:00-15:00 AL G18 - UCC

The next speaker in our School Seminar Series, on Thursday November 16th, is @microSCRUM's own Monica Cazzaniga from Cormac Gahan's lab who will talk about diet, the gut microbiome and host response to Listeria monocytogenes resistance.

Great talk by Clodagh Carr, in the UCC Schoolof Microbiology Seminar Series, describing how marine derived bacterial enzymes can degrade polyesters, including plastics. @ucc.bsky.social @uccresearch.bsky.social #SciSky

Today's the day: Clodagh Carr will talk at our School Seminar Series and will tell us about Marine bacteria as a source of polyester-degrading enzymes with biocatalytic potential

Fascinating talk today by Shona Uniacke-Lowe detailing functional analyses and specificity of the deep-sea fish microbiome! #UCC #UCC_Microbiology

Great interview with our very own Professor Jens Walter , talking about the link between diet & disease & the central roles played by our gut microbiome! @ucc.bsky.social

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. Thursday 19th October 14:00-14:30 AL G30 - UCC

The next speaker in our School Seminar Series is Shona Uniacke-Lowe who will talk about biomining the deep-sea for new anti-microbials. Really looking forward to this!

Hello BlueSky, is this thing on? The antiSMASH https://antismash.secondarymetabolites.org/ service has just landed.

Hello BlueSky. Excited to be here. We are in the School of Microbiology, University College Cork. We are a peer-to-peer support network organising social and professional events and activities with the aim to raise the profile of the School and to help the School to achieve it's mission. #HiSciSky
