The next speaker in our School Seminar Series, on Thursday November 16th, is @microSCRUM's own Monica Cazzaniga from Cormac Gahan's lab who will talk about diet, the gut microbiome and host response to Listeria monocytogenes resistance. @UccMicrobiology @SEFSUCC @UCCResearch

[Brian McDonnell @phagebrain]

@m_wutkowska @ContamClub Oh yeah, see them a lot.
