Really delighted to see Lindsay Hall, our Chair of Microbiome Research, recognised as a trailblazer as she joins the Goalkeepers community 🎉 https://t.co/lUCXB15hY4

[College of Medicine and Health (UoB) @unibirm_CMH]

Huge congratulations to Professor Lindsay Hall @hall_lab, who has been named as one of the UK’s 2025 Goalkeepers by @WIRED Consulting and The @gatesfoundation. Lindsay sits alongside other visionaries of global development, taking on the world’s biggest problems.

I am ecstatic to announce that I’ve been awarded a
@wellcometrust Early Career Award! I couldn’t have done it without everyone who helped me along the way! I will join @Dunn_School to do some exciting science on efflux pumps for the next 5 years!

[Nicole Wheeler @nwheeler443]

Thrilled we are now able to share our investigation into whether new AI protein design tools can fool DNA synthesis screening! 🥳 Was a privilege working with amazing folk at @Microsoft @TwistBioscience @idtdna @IBBIS_bio @RTX_News Raytheon @aclid @Battelle on this timely issue🧬

This #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek, hear from Dr @mmcbuckner and her team on the vital work they are doing to combat antimicrobial resistance, and the impact of this global health threat. @ilyas_alav @ImmunologyUoB @UoBinfectionsch @UoBbiosciences @unibirmingham #WAAW2024

[Mike Cox @MikeyJ]

I have three PhD studentships available currently through the MIBTP DTP https://t.co/n4KMUSTsYD... on different aspects of the respiratory microbiome, interaction with mucin with @LucyICM the resistome with @mmcbuckner and pathobionts with @Bacterioskeptic

[Tim Overton @Overtonlab]

A project in my lab with @JessicaMABlair seeks to understand how efflux pumps can be used to improve organic solvent tolerance in industrial processes, and how this can be balanced against energy demands. https://t.co/Xb62N7LJYr

[College of Medicine and Health (UoB) @unibirm_CMH]

Have you seen that @oldjoeclock is blue? He is helping us highlight #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek! Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria becomes resistant to antimicrobial agents, meaning antibiotics become ineffective and increasing disease risk. https://t.co/1CBq65UU0O

[Lucy Crouch-Myers @LucyICM]

MIBTP PhD applications are now open! There are three associated with my lab. 1) infant gut microbes and human milk oligosaccharides with @hall_lab 2) respiratory microbiome nutrition with @MikeyJ 3) mucus-producing organoids with @DrMicroMandroid

[Jessica Blair @JessicaMABlair]

PhD studentship alert!! Two projects available with me @IMIBirmingham on the @MIBTP_BBSRC

This one is with @mmcbuckner https://t.co/nr4dHB30Pq

And this one with @Overtonlab https://t.co/nr4dHB30Pq

Both will be lots of fun! Come and join the team 😃

[David W. Cleary @Bacterioskeptic]

I have a funded PhD opportunity through MIBTP to look at pneumococci in adults with @MikeyJ (also check out two other projects with Mike and Prof. Joan Geoghegan on other respiratory pathobionts) link here: https://t.co/G1vrBgKWdn Happy to be contacted with questions

[Mike Cox @MikeyJ]

MIBTP doctoral training partnership has had renewed funding, congratulations to that team! Keep an eye on the website https://t.co/4XP8r9kFSQ and https://t.co/qBrgfqK3Xy for the details. I'll be advertising 3 PhD projects on different aspects of the respiratory microbiome

[Mike Cox @MikeyJ]

Colleagues in Microbes Infection and Microbiomes https://t.co/m6CxzSxjKH and across the colleges here will have opportunities too

Reach out to people if you're interested in the opportunity!

[Hall Lab @hall_lab]

It's great to have @LukeeActon join the team and kickstart our @BBSRC project with @ptchivers on iron uptake systems in #bifidobacteria 🤩🙌🦠🧫💻🧬
