Cellular microbiologist at the MRC-CMBI - Imperial College London. We study host-pathogen interactions, in particular we love Salmonella. Views are my own.

Salmonella triggers amino acid malabsorption in the ileum to create a a wave of lysine entering the cecum. Decarboxylation of lysine buffers the cytosol to protect against short-chain fatty acids, enabling the pathogen to invade the cecal ecosystem.

I’m incredibly excited to be joining the Dunn School this Sep! Can’t wait to join the fantastic environment and many groups working on the cellular mechanisms underlying human health and disease @Dunn_School

[Dunn_School (now @DunnSchool.bsky.social) @Dunn_School]

We are delighted to announce that Teresa Thurston is joining the Dunn School as an Associate Professor!

@ThurstonLab uses a multidisciplinary approach to study bacterial virulence factors and host immunity.

Could bacteria be the next frontier in nucleic acid delivery? 🧬

@ProfTomEllis, @ThurstonLab and I explore this in the latest @TrendsinBiotech review article - https://t.co/tPM0c3EKQy

[Kelvin Kering @KeringKev]

Thank you @ThurstonLab for the amazing opportunity to be part of your Lab. It’s been great working with @Ines_DdO on the exciting work on Salmonella macrophage interactions. Grateful for the https://t.co/MVQzF2lODK which funded my stay @imperialcollege .

[Teresa Thurston @ThurstonLab]

Today we said goodbye to @KeringKev, our global hubs fellow from the Kariuki lab in Kenya. Kelvin worked with @Ines_DdO on Salmonella-macrophage interactions - thank you for visiting our lab Kelvin and we wish you the best for the final leg of your PhD.

Re-introducing the newest small and mighty kid on the block (with the right link I hope) https://t.co/aCXPngLW8b - fantastic collaboration with XJ Yu @CBRB_Imperial @ImperialInfect David Holden and @jay_salsa https://t.co/3zJEvceKwR

[Imperial Department of Infectious Disease @ImperialInfect]

Congratulations to @CBRB_Imperial who have appointed two co-directors. 🎉

Prof Mariagrazia Pizza and Prof Shiranee Sriskandan (@Grampospath) will lead the centre which focuses on bacterial discovery research including tackling antimicrobial resistance.👇

It's been a busy week with a paper out 🥳, an award for supporting women (thank you @imperialcollege @ImperialInfect ) 💪, a goodbye lunch for our amazing students Elisabeth and Violette 🥹and the wonderful news that Ada, a visiting PhD student, was awarded her PhD 🍾.

[Jonathan Pruneda @jnpruneda]

Happy to see this out in final form!

Bacterial esterases reverse LPS ubiquitylation to block immunity. @ThurstonLab @jnpruneda ID mechanism to evade cell-autonomous immunity. Effector removes ubiquitin earmarks deposited by host E3 ligase RNF213 to prevent bacterial recognition & destruction https://t.co/RCUYrvJDUc

Proud to share this story about Burkholderia effector TssM that is now published in @cellhostmicrobe ! Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this exciting work 💪💪 @ThurstonLab @jnpruneda

@Ines_DdO @LondonPostdoc Well done @Ines_DdO for winning the best talk @LondonPostdoc symposium. The lab is very proud of you!

We use Rb-Tn-seq to identify all genes used by Salmonella Typhimurium, Typhi & Paratyphi A to respond to 25 infection-related stresses encountered through human infection
= thousands of fitness effects !!
