We have 2 fully funded PhD studentships available through the new Yorkshire Biosciences DTP (starting Oct 25) - please share! Both projects are focussed on #phage that infect #Cdifficile

So happy our pre-print on daptomycin mechanism of action is now out! Here, we present three main findings: i) daptomycin does not form large membrane pores in either B. subtilis or S. aureus, (1/3)

Trick bacteria with light! It took us a very long time to publish this work, but perseverance and teamwork prevailed. @ Ryan McQuillen Xinxing Yang @ Amilcar Perez @Malcolm Winkler @ Erin Goley @ Kumaran Ramamurthi nature.com/articles/s4146…
