Exciting times NU-OMICS Northumbria Uni the PacBio Revio has arrived and been installed. Offers the ability to run 4 smrt cells similtaneously, each with 25 million ZMWs. PacBio day being developed for a day of talks on Tue 19th Sep, registration will be shared shortly.

Our opinion piece on devs in the preterm infant phageome is out! 👶🏻 🦠 doi.org/10.1016/j.mib.… Take 🏠: 🔭 Phages are understudied in (preterm) gut MGs. 📈 Isolation/annotation of gut phages = >utility of MG analyses. 🤒 Phage may act as biomarkers of gut inflammation.

We are recruiting a senior PDRA to the group working with phages until end of Sep 2026. Will be looking both at phage control in both clinical infection /environmental intervention, modulating microbial communities. Link: tinyurl.com/ms6kyrj2 Please email for further details.

Deadline for the role is 25th of Sep, if your a postdoctoral researcher looking for a new challenge with experience of working with phages, molecular biology and informatics.

A week to go to apply for this phage PDRA research post in my group, that runs until Sep 2026...

And we’re off at ⁦Northumbria Uni⁩ ⁦NU-OMICS⁩ @pacBio #revio launch day! Kicking things off is ⁦Darren Smith⁩ giving an overview of the faculty

Hello UK Phagesters, the dates of the second VoM-UK meeting is locked in on the 25th and 26th of Jan 2024. There will be a half day phage informatics workshop preceding the meeting on the afternoon of the 24th, supported by CLIMB, run by Andrew millard

During #WorldPhageWeek please consider submitting studies or reviews to a themed collection at SMI. This is Applied Microbiology International society paper, so please support if you have phage research to publish. Its looking to be an exciting collection.
