Check out the diverse research that happening at UNSW BABS this morning. Apeksha will present her work on the iconic bacteria #Helicobacter pylori in the aptly named session - microbes that have changed the world (abs 8) (1/2) #2019ASM

Second #PhD candidate is Apeksha Goswami from UNSW talking about polymorphisms in Helicobacter pylori & the relation with Gastric cancer (ABSTR #8)

Apeksha Goswami talks us through the synergistic inflammatory effect between IRGM polymorphisms and Helicobacter pylori in gastric cancer #2019ASM

Presented at #2019ASM on "Role of an IRGM gene polymorphism in Helicobacter pylori-related gastric carcinogenesis". Thank you for this opportunity ASM. Also great help and support from #helicobacterandcampylobacterlaboratory. @KaakoushNadeem @NataliaCastaRod

A very interesting talk by Maria Liaskos on the persistent infection of H. pylori in humans and how it modulates the host inflammatory response for its own benefit.

Way to go Lan lab!! Laurence Luu Raisa Rafique Ada, Xiaomi, Michael and Hiroki.

A very interesting talk by Laurence Luu on Bordetella pertussis! Well done!

An eye-opening talk by Nobel laureate Tilman Ruff. It pains to see your and your neighboring country being highlighted for having ~135 nuclear weapons and on the verge of using it soon! Indeed action is needed.

Our new method for microbial genomic surveillance and epidemiology, multilevel genome typing (MGT) with the first database for Salmonella Typhimurium. Check out the paper eurosurveillance.org/content/10.280… and the new database mgtdb.unsw.edu.au. #lanlab #Genomics #microbiology

MGT uses multiple MLST schemes of increasing sizes to provide a stable nomenclature from genomic data. We used it to provide >9000 Typhimurium genomes with identities at multiple resolutions and can describe well known lineages.

Check out our poster (#329) at Astrology, Synastry & Memes . Genomic analysis of a distinct novel NSW #Salmonella abortusovis clade that infects commercial chicken flocks and humans, not sheep!
