Big milestone ahead! 🎓

I’m excited to share that I will be defending my PhD thesis on 8 January 2026 at 11:00 AM IST.

I invite researchers interested in bacteriophages, biofilms & biofouling to join the defense and the discussion.

📩 DM me for the online joining link.

Hey phage enthusiasts!
Ready to infect the competition and go viral at ICBRAR-2025? Join our Bacteriophage Quiz, where brains battle like phages vs. bacteria! No antibiotics needed, just your wit. More details will follow……

What a perfect holiday gift for a science author: An in-depth review of my book in @ScienceMagazine by @aetiology I loved how she hit on the pros/cons and that phages aren't panacea but a promising addition to our arsenal of antibiotic-resistance weaponry https://t.co/BkyLJ0lTD0

Is it “winner-takes all” when the simplest living things compete? Check out my fresh publication on phage coexistence in Science and a thread below🧵 https://t.co/3qQNKT0LVd

.@Atif_micro (@IndiaBARC) and colleagues published a new paper showing chlorine-tolerant #phages can inhibit growth and #biofilm formation of chlorine-resistant K. pneumoniae isolated from a cooling water system.

.Our new article in @Cheme1972.
This study provides insights into the prevalence of chlorine resistant, pathogenic #bacteria in cooling water systems & highlights the application of #phages to mitigate chlorine resistant bacteria & their #biofilms.

Excited to share our work on broadly effective phage-antibiotic cocktails. We report 3 cocktails that each work against >95% of 153 antibiotic resistant Pseudomonas isolates. Check it out here: https://t.co/n6irFDE9fO Congrats to Kevin Kim @KevinMinyo6651

[Fagan Lab at the University of Sheffield @RobFagan]

We have 2 fully funded PhD studentships available through the new Yorkshire Biosciences DTP (starting Oct 25) - please share! Both projects are focussed on #phage that infect #Cdifficile

We just dropped our latest paper: “Combating Chlorine-Resistant Marine Klebsiella pneumoniae Biofilms with Chlorine-Tolerant Bacteriophages” in Chemosphere! 🌊🦠 Who knew that phages could be the ultimate chlorine bouncers? Dive in to see how we’re tackling biofilm bullies!
