Happy to share my first first-author publication with the Coulthurst lab on effectors delivered by the Type VI secretion system and their diverse functions in @CellMicrobiol. Thank you to @SarahCoulthurs1 and @Ramses_GM for their guidance and contribution. https://t.co/2bn1WxqPQf
It was a pleasure and a privilege to examine @ruth_ehr 's PhD viva this week, amidst stunning @dundeeuni scenery.
🥳🥳🥳
Warm congratulations to DR RUTH for all your hard work - I know supervisors @SarahCoulthurs1@slow_going are very proud!
@willpjsmith@dundeeuni@SarahCoulthurs1@slow_going Thank you so much for making the trip to Dundee and for the wonderful viva experience! I really enjoyed our discussions and truly appreciate the insights from you and @helged80 ! The beautiful scenery was definitely a bonus ☀️
@SarahCoulthurs1 and colleagues at @UoDLifeSciences show that Rhs proteins with exchangeable NAD(P)+ glycohydrolase toxin domains and ‘orphan’ immunity proteins are flexible agents of intraspecies competition in Serratia
