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.

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.
