New paper from the lab. Thank you to Christian Møller-Olsen, PhD for the hard work and all our amazing collaborators! Thank you Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research @MIBTP1 for funding!

Great visit to the Finham sewage plant today! Hopefully these sewage samples with have lots of #bacteriophages that can treat antibiotic resistant S. aureus infections! Thanks Hannah and Severn Trent.

Investigation of in vitro #phage #therapy with free and encapsulated phage targeting S. aureus infection in human cells #PhgOx21, #NBurton

Great weather for 2 sunny days of #PhgOx21, don’t hesitate to DM for any questions on my poster!

New paper! with Antonia Sagona Huba Marton and Matt Gibson pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

Please check the work of my two PhD students Gurneet Dhanoa and Nathan Burton Microbiology Society meeting in Belfast #Microbio22

If you're in Belfast this week please come and check out my poster (B023) at the microbial physiology and molecular biology forum on Wednesday! #microbio22

Skyline view of Belfast at #Microbio22 conference 👌

Last but not least, Greg Young made me think about temperate vs lytic phage prevalence in the gut, and Nathan Burton ended the day with a really relevant talk on combining phage and antibiotics to treat S. aureus biofilms 🦠 7/n

Fascinating talk at the #ECCMID2022 conference on a patient self administering phage therapy to their prosthetic joint infection with phage’s because doctors were not allowed to administer it themselves! :o

I'm delighted to share the first paper from my PhD published in ACS Synthetic Bio! SpyPhage: A Cell-Free TXTL Platform for Rapid Engineering of Targeted Phage Therapies. doi.org/10.1021/acssyn… #TXTL #phage #phagetherapy #synbio #cellfree

Good luck to all the Sagona lab members presenting their work via talk or poster Microbiology Society meeting!

Excellent talk by Jessica Lewis at #Microbio24 today. Is there a hero out there that can help with her strange multi contig phage genome?!

Won a bottle at the microbesNG stand today at #Microbio24, best time of the day. Made sequencing with them even more worth it ❤️. For anyone into Biofilms - my talk is at 17:05 today in the Kilsyth room (level 0) on re sensitising biofilms to antibiotics.

Really enjoyed giving my talk today at #Microbio24. Thanks everyone who came to listen to my 💩 jokes. Microbiology Society

Thank you NORTHERN 🚆 for finding my bag at midnight! I thought I would never see it again.

Brilliant to see the work from my PhD finally published! Cheap push: I’m looking for my next role if anyone needs a phage biologist/microbiologist?

Massive congratulations to Nathan today Nathan Burton MIBTP for successfully defending his thesis!! Huge thanks to Freya Harrison and Dr Ellie Jameson for being his internal and external examiners! Nathan is looking for PDRA positions and I can highly recommend him!!!
