I do stuff involving things... those things being bacteriophage, and that stuff being something that kinda resembles science... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Postdoc

Over the past two years, we've been working with @GenepoolTV & @Emma_WattsTV to document our journey from phage discovery to treating our first-ever patient suffering a superbug infection.

'Last Chance to Save a Life' premiers in one month!

The latest work from our lab where we conduct the largest experimental validation of gut phages to date!

This included >2000 anaerobic incubations, >900 viral DNA extractions, and >400 genomes seq. This work was led by our PhD grad @SofiaDahlman

We've developed a simple tool to reorient complete microbial genomes to begin with conventional start genes - originally dnaA for bacteria, but also for plasmids, phages & custom genes @viji112 @BeardyMcFace @susiegriggo_ @BhavyaPapudeshi

What factors affect variability in the gut phageome?

Great review from @Tobin__Ciara @AShkoporov @colinhillucc!

Are you looking to integrate multi-omic data, such as #microbiome and #metabolomics measurements?
I'm absolutely thrilled to announce Anansi, our @tpq__ & @jfcryan @Pharmabiotic new framework and accompanying #Rstats package is now available on @arxiv! https://t.co/mnmVwxxbEL

APC Microbiome Ireland @Pharmabiotic PI @colinhillucc is recruiting a Research Assistant to join his Gut Phageomics Lab to investigate the role of #phages in gut microbiome structure, function & assembly. Please apply here: https://t.co/kfPN0qQQYC using job ID 067334.

[Andrey Shkoporov @AShkoporov]

Looking for a #postdocposition in #microbiology #phage biology, or #microbiome science? Join us on an @ERC_Research funded project #PHAGENET to study how bacteriophages accelerate HGT and bacterial evolution in the gut microbiome.

Excited to help out on this paper with @Hasanyesilkayaa studying regulation of pneumococcal capsule @PLOSPathogens, excellent work @Dgglanville @UlijaszLab

NERC just sent an email out recognising that the cost of living increase means its PhD stipend isn't sufficient to live on.

Their solution isn't to increase it, it's to suggest students start selling Avon and sign up to clinical trials...

A Review in @NatureRevMicro explores some of the mutualistic aspects of phage–bacterium interactions in the human gut and suggests that this relationship should not be characterized as a fight to the death between enemies. https://t.co/mx0kOz2SqD

New review by @AShkoporov, myself, and @colinhillucc on how phage and bacteria in the gut are not each other's 'enemy' but rather, as Captain Holt would say are each other's...

[Andrey Shkoporov @AShkoporov]

We are hiring! A 2-year @ERC_Research funded postdoctoral position is available in #PHAGENET project to study phage transduction and HGT in the human #microbiome at @Pharmabiotic and @UccMicrobiology. Apply at https://t.co/iaWbEyznwM (job ID 057691)

MDPI Journals and their peculiar editorial process.
Just asked to be removed as a guest editor from @VirusesMDPI, a journal which I had considered as a very good platform in the past. #MDPI
