If you're interested in doing a PhD we have a lot of potential projects available in the lab. Topics cover bacterial pathogens, antibiotic resistence mechanisms, and fundemental mechanisms of gene regulation. More details here https://t.co/G5sWOdIohF 🧪🥼🔬

A new pre-print out - we show that promoters and terminators of transcription are frequently coupled, throughout the bacteria, and that this is regulatory.

@emilywarmanj has followed up on her discovery of bidirectional promoters in bacteria by defining their basic rules for regulation and links to gene expression noise...

A busy few weeks for the lab 🥵... three new stories published. The first describes activation of transcription by DNA distortion

@SamochJ OK - thanks for letting me know. The shortlisting will take place towards teh end of the year.

[David Grainger @GraingerLab]

Our lab is offering 3 PhD projects this year across 3 different topics: antibiotic resistance mechanisms, evolution of pathogenic bacteria, and fundamental mechanisms of gene regulation.

@danielabarilla.bsky.social kicking off #BioPhyChrom2025 - a fantastic turn out too...

[David Grainger @GraingerLab]

Talk slots full but we can take late breaking poster abstracts until August 7th. Hope to see you in York to hear about your chromosome story 🧬🦠🧫

If you're interested in chromosome biology (DNA folding, gene regulation, replication, polymer modelling and more) we're organising the below this autumn. It'd be great to see you there. Please share if you can. :-)

This infographic highlights the extreme lack of antibiotics available for treating mycoplasma infections compared to many other bacterial pathogens.

Congrats to all who make our School a great place to work and study, and to Carsten Kroger @KroegerLab and our EDI Committee for working on our successful submission. 👏👏👏😀 @tcddublin @TCDEquality #AthenaSWANIreland

[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

Giving these another airing... projects on bacterial pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, and basic mechanisms... all with a hint of gene regulation #PhD #opportunities

[David Grainger @GraingerLab]

PhD projects available in our lab all listed in the below link. All focus on bacterial gene regulation, in the context of basic understanding, disease, or anitbiotic resistance. Deadlines in January...

I can highly recommend Paul's lab's stuff... and I bet a lot of you didn't know GTAs existed (I didn't).

[Paul CM Fogg @PCMFogg]

We have a fascinating preprint just out, revealing the widespread packaging of bacterial genomic DNA into capsids in the human gut:https://t.co/nuo0wLYRjh. Major denizens of the #microbiome implicated with broad potential impact on bacterial evolution and horizontal gene transfer

[David Grainger @GraingerLab]

@yucheng_ren713 Yep, it's undergoing some renovation. You can find me (and contact details) on the UoB website though.
