Microbiology & Infection at Cardiff Met Uni

Microbiology and Infection Research Group based at Cardiff Metropolitan University. We love microbes!

Great to see one of our group members @SarahMaddocks talking about our microbial metropolis on BBC radio 4 Inside Health

[Sarah Hooper b.Maddocks @SarahMaddocks]

When Inside Health paid a visit to @cardiffmet @CardiffMetCSSHS Microbiology labs to chat about hygiene, cleanliness and the bacteria we share our world with (9pm BBC Radio 4):

A really fun day with @MicrobioSoc. It was a great opportunity to showcase how the @MIRG_CMU team based at @cardiffmet work to support and promote our early career researchers with the fantastic support of the this society.

A fantastic opportunity to be part of our group:

A nice paper from several of the group in collaboration with Aberystwyth University and University of Washington. 🤩

[Sarah Hooper b.Maddocks @SarahMaddocks]

Really pleased to see this manuscript describing our modified in vitro chronic wound biofilm model is out in Pathogens:https://t.co/k2H0yzepgu
This was a fab collaboration with @mike_beeton @whitworth_dave and various others

Last group meeting before Christmas; and what’s this? A bribe to ensure everyone turns up? Of course not…😉

[Microbiology Society @MicrobioSoc]

Each month, the #IJSEM publishes details of newly discovered species of bacteria, fungi and protists. Here are some of the new species that have been discovered and the places they've been found! https://t.co/HIVMznquw1 🦠🦠🦠

Fantastic news @mike_beeton; it will be really exciting to see the next stages of Georgia’s project. Thanks @SfAMtweets

[Mike Beeton @mike_beeton]

Small grants like this make a huge difference to the direction of research projects and the development of early career researchers such as Georgia.

[Microbiology & Infection at Cardiff Met Uni @MIRG_CMU]

Huge congratulations to @mike_beeton for his paper in @LancetMicrobe discussing mycoplasma infection beyond COVID. Certainly one to add to your summer reading list!

[Mike Beeton @mike_beeton]

Proud to be a part of this project and study group. Collaborative science is the best science!!

[Microbiology & Infection at Cardiff Met Uni @MIRG_CMU]

@drchloejames @SalfordUni Congratulations 🥂

[Microbiology & Infection at Cardiff Met Uni @MIRG_CMU]

@Cornishman100 Have you spoken to FabLab or PDR? They’ve helped me with making various bits of lab equipment.

[Microbiology & Infection at Cardiff Met Uni @MIRG_CMU]

@Bacterioskeptic @UoS_Medicine @SouthamptonBRC @unibirm_MDS @IMIBirmingham Congratulations 🥂

[Microbiology Society @MicrobioSoc]

Members: check out how you could apply for funding for research visits, outreach projects, international development and #ECMForum events

The need to understand and predict microbial evolutionary dynamics has never been more urgent. Join us this November at #MicroEvo22.

Ever wonder how art could be used for public engagement in microbiology? Have a read through this fascinating blog by member Rebecca Weiser, who worked with a team of researchers and local artists to deliver an AMR themed science-art event in Cardiff. https://t.co/419Rlq0IVJ

[Microbiology & Infection at Cardiff Met Uni @MIRG_CMU]

Having a fab time at #Microbio22 where one of our PhD students is presenting her work describing a five-species chronic wound model. Come see her flash presentation at 4.30pm in Polymicrobial Infections.

[Microbiology & Infection at Cardiff Met Uni @MIRG_CMU]

It’s really great to see three of our PIs have been nominated for #SUSLTAs well done @Cornishman100 @mike_beeton and @SarahMaddocks

[IBMS South West Wales branch @IBMSSWW]

Some biomedical science jobs in Wales. Just a reminder to biomedical science graduates that a good way to get laboratory experience is as an assistant or associate practitioner. Also, don’t be afraid to apply for HCPC BMS posts as sometimes laboratories will take on a trainee

[Microbiology & Infection at Cardiff Met Uni @MIRG_CMU]

Fantastic - this is a truly exciting piece of work from one of our group members; well done @Cornishman100
