Publication alert 🚨: Our new review article on antibiotic resistance via distinct gene amplifications is out now in npj antimicrobials and resistance!!! Here is the link: nature.com/articles/s4425… #antibioticresistance #geneamplification

Incredible work by the one and only 🇿🇲Vishal C Patel🇬🇧 and amazing team! Well done to all the authors Merianne Mohamad Marilena Stamouli Debbie Shawcross Chokshi Lab London 👏🏼👏🏼

I have two PhD projects listed on this scheme - please get in touch if you are interested!

Today marks the start of World #AMR Awareness Week (#WAAW). This year’s theme is “Educate. Advocate. Act now.” In this 🧵, I’ve shared answers to key questions on the risks and impact of AMR 🦠

Kick-starting #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek with a topical Q&A from Merianne Mohamad in the thread below 👏👏 #AMR #LiverTwitter #LiverResearch #GutLiverAxis #Microbiome

Does an apple a day really keep the doctor away? Fruit is particularly good for maintaining a healthy gut, says @DrEmilyLeeming from King's Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine. Find out how quickly tweaks to diet could impact the microbiome ⬇️ theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Check out this Genome Watch on the use of metagenomics to investigate #resistome dynamics in river ecosystems, underscoring the role of rivers as reservoirs of #antimicrobial resistance genes 🧬🦠 Dr Onalenna Neo, PhD et al., nature.com/articles/s4157…

People with liver disease have altered mouth and gut bacteria (known as the #microbiome) - which increases their #antimicrobialresistance. #ScienceAtKings kcl.ac.uk/news/microbiom… King's Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine Dentistry, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences at King's King's College NHS King's College Hospital Charity 🇿🇲Vishal C Patel🇬🇧 The Roger Williams Institute of Liver Studies

Our study on drug-gut microbiome interactions is out! 🦠💊 Nature Microbiology We show that the #Parkinson's drug entacapone induces iron deficiency in microbes, leading to selective inhibition of microbial activity. Check the full story here: rdcu.be/d0ZAQ

📣PhD position available (UK applicant)! I am looking for a PhD student to join my research team on pursuing a very exciting project co-supervised with Debbie Shawcross ! The application is now open: findaphd.com/phds/project/r… The Roger Williams Institute of Liver Studies School of Immunology & Microbial Sciences King's Doctoral Students' Association

"The problem of [antimicrobial resistance (#AMR)] has been seen as either not urgent or too difficult to solve. Neither is true." A Lancet Series spotlights this global issue & how existing infection prevention methods could save 750,000 lives a year: hubs.li/Q02Y5v0D0

BBC Panorama tonight at 8pm on BBC One "Binge Drinking and Me" featuring our own Debbie Shawcross discussing the effects of binge drinking and the increasing rates of #AlcoholRelatedLiverDisease in young women #ARLD #LiverDisease #LiverResearch #LiverTwitter #Hepatology

Another PhD opportunity in the team! This time its an exciting collaboration with Hall Lab and @kim_hardie looking at why not all bacteria become resistant! findaphd.com/phds/project/w… Deadline 10th Jan and open to Uk and overseas! Pls RT!

Funded #PhD project to work with me, Selva Dhandapani, Andrew Mitchell, Arwyn Edwards, & Linda Oyama on zoonotic bacterial pathogens and their mobile genetic elements, available through the OneZoo DTP: findaphd.com/phds/project/m… Please share!
