Chris Greening

Professor & NHMRC Fellow at @MonashUni's Dept of Microbiology. Using microbes to tackle global challenges in health and sustainability. #FirstGen 🐶🇦🇺🌈🎹🌱

[Daniel Fox @_danielfox]

The first major body of work from my PhD is now up on BioRxiv!

We used AI-designed binders to block the uptake of heme from hemoglobin through ChuA, a heme transporter found in pathogenic E. coli. 🦠🩸🔬

I’m very grateful for my supervisors and all coauthors for their support!

[FEMS @FEMSmicro]

Get ready to be inspired!💡

Professor Chris Greening (@greeninglab), a leading expert in #ClimateMicrobiology, will be one of our keynote speakers at #FEMS2025 in Milan 🌍🔬

The ASM Vic Branch One Health Night had speakers including @greeninglab, @celeste_donato and @LauraBoelsen (pictured with Organiser Eliza Nikolaou) and Anna Sri (not in picture)

[Daniel Fox @_danielfox]

Was nice to get some nice feedback on my work, the poster prize was a bonus!

Thanks for organising a nice conference @CCeMMP ! 🔬🦠

Thanks also to my supervisor @Rhys__G for all his support!! Stay tuned for the preprint soon 😊

🚨 New study alert! 🚨

Our research shows that #sequencing depth & false positives are major drivers of bias in prokaryotic #metagenomics. We tested 3 pipelines and uncovered surprising patterns in #MAGrecovery. 🖥️🧪🦠🔬

[Luis E. Valentín-Alvarado @luisarchaeota]

Pre-print 🚨 alert! We used AI protein structure prediction to analyze ~10,000 Borg proteins, revealing potential capsid proteins & viral-like features in these massive elements from methane-eating archaea. Could they be the first archaeal giant viruses? Check it out!

[Florin Musat @FlorinMusatus]

Ever wondered if those butane-oxidizing archaea (https://t.co/XuPcXeyALV) could run their metabolism in reverse? Carbon dioxide to butane? Well, wonder no more: check out our new paper, now live at Nature Communications

[MEEM Victoria @VictoriaMEEM]

The first speaker of our second session is @TessFHutchinson from @MonashUni @greeninglab who’s telling us about Antarctic soil bacteria and how they can sustain trace gas oxidation across wide temperature ranges 🥶🦠 #MEEM2024

[MEEM Victoria @VictoriaMEEM]

Next up is Dr. Francesco Ricci (@deepseacrepture) from @MonashUni @greeninglab who’s informing us about chemosynthesis in marine cave ecosystems 🌊🦠 #MEEM2024

[Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute @MonashBDI]

📢We're so proud to share that Professor Dena Lyras, BDI Deputy Director & ARC Laureate Fellow, has been appointed as a Sir John Monash Distinguished Professor, the most prestigious title conferred on Professors at the University. Congrats! 🎉Read more https://t.co/ETnjIZDTjd

The Nagoya Protocol and its implications for microbiology | this article states currently it is creating considerable hurdles in research. Despite all good intentions-unless deficiencies are addressed, it can severely constrain international collaboration https://t.co/HOQZzMmYtG

[Matthias Hess @TheHessLab]

My group (https://t.co/0qdM65Beex) is recruiting a new Junior Specialist to support our ongoing efforts in understanding and editing the rumen microbiome towards lower methane production.

Please apply here before Dec 1st 2024 https://t.co/EGCp2xj3gl

[AusMe_2024 @AusMe_2024]

@TessFHutchinson thank you for giving an insightful talk on the potential thermal flexibility of trace gas oxidation processes from Antarctic samples.

In light of our warming climate, this work may prove invaluable!

[ICH2026 @ICH2026]

METALLOENZYMES LOVERS ALERT!
We are delighted to announce that the 14th International Conference on Hydrogenase and Other Redox Metalloenzymes (ICH2026) will take place in Leicester (UK) in August 2026. Stay tuned by following our webpage: https://t.co/JCF6ETKj1h

[AusMe_2024 @AusMe_2024]

The extreme environments session of #AusME2024 has kicked off! Did you know that caves can breathe? The exchange of gases from the surface occurs in a cyclic fashion which can help support the life of microbes.

@Sean_K_Bay, what an exciting talk!

[Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute @MonashBDI]

1/Congrats to all on the @CellCellPress study! Shout out to BDI’s @CamillaFaoro, co-first author, for her work (structures & binding studies) on immune receptor variants found in First Nations people, revealing insights into their immune recognition. More: https://t.co/K3HCAyY33J

Dr Kate L. Bowerman from @UQscience presented her findings on the microbiome of Australian marsupials. The bacterial community for each marsupial is significantly varied and is also distinct from that of ruminants.
