Happy International #WomenInScienceDay! Let’s celebrate all the past & present #WomenInScience that have made Science what it is today & hope for a future where these hashtags are not necessary anymore!
To the amazing women in our centre, without you there would be no CMBI! 👩🔬🦠
Very happy my final paper with @TheFrankelLab is out showing persistent changes to the gut following Citrobacter infection. Huge thanks to everyone who contributed and to the whole group for your support and friendship over the years - I will miss you!!
Can’t think of a better send-off for @Dr_CarrieMS, now with @SophieHelaine@harvardmed. In her last paper,in collab with @jc4_jyoti, she shows that IFNg & thus epithelial MHCII remain high weeks after gut infection clearance. Great job Carrie & good luck! https://t.co/0ogyZmjfti
Happy evening all! Our new opinion on #T3SS effector networks & how effectors work cooperatively to subvert host responses & establish infection is finally out!

Featured Article: Shigella Outsmarts Host #CellDeath: @dixitvishva & Co identify #Shigella IpaH7.8, a #bacterial ubiquitin ligase, as a species-specific inhibitor of pyroptosis. IpaH7.8 prevents pyroptosis by targeting human gasdermin D for degradation https://t.co/VGelR0qUmt
I had very little clue of how to supervise a Master's research project virtually due to the lockdown last year! It was indeed a lot of learning, brain storming, fun and hard work to put this together with @AnaJChoi
Excited to say that thanks to @The_MRC, we will soon recruit two new postdocs: one in my lab to work on Salmonella infection biology @CMBI_Imperial and one with our awesome collaborator @KatrinRittinger@TheCrick for structural studies on Salmonella effectors. Please retweet.
We are delighted to have this project finally see the light of day @ScienceMagazine! Great collaboration between groups in the UK, Spain & Israel. We are very grateful to the @wellcometrust for supporting this research & to everyone that worked on it!🧵⬇️

Worth a look whether you work on E. coli or not-suspect changes in metabolism might explain lineage change more generally. Antibiotics are not the only pressure! Clinically relevant mutations in core metabolic genes confer antibiotic resistance | Science https://t.co/nmETJCKcYb

Any questions, contact the course leads @avi_cmbi and @Thurstonlab
My favourite part of my PhD work with @TheFrankelLab and @avi_cmbi is now published in @CellMicrobiol. Many thanks to @Baker_Lab_Cam for introducing me to Paratyphi A!
Awesome new paper from the lab is out, our work on Salmonella Paratyphi, one of the leading causes of enteric fever that is now on the rise in Asia. Huge congratulations to @ellimylona01, who led the project on her own @CMBI_Imperial.
We’re on the cover of Structure! Big thanks to everyone involved in this work. Illustrated here is the conjugative pilus from pKpQIL-carrying Klebsiella pneumoniae

BREAKING NEWS:
The 2020 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna “for the development of a method for genome editing.”
And last but not least is vice-president/outreach officer Julia! @JuliaSanchezBio is studying mucosal immune responses during bacterial infection in gut & lungs. She enjoys reading epic fantasy books, & some of her favourites are The Kingkiller Chronicle by @PatrickRothfuss &...
