We welcomed last week Daniel Game Daniel Game & Connor Munro to the lab. Enjoying their first Nutrient Uptake Meeting at Mumbai Lounge :-) @BBSRCWhiteRose DiMeN DTP Biology at York Rebecca Corrigan

Fantastic work published in #nature this week, right at the very start of my PhD! Very similar to my approach in my master's thesis...just 1 billion proteins instead of my 6😆 #alphafold #metagenomics

For those of you with a #kindle Ed Yong is not here's fantastic book on the #microbiome is currently 99p!! An absolute must read for anyone working in #microbiology 5⭐️ amazon.co.uk/Contain-Multit…

Heading home from four days in the Lakes with the @BBSRCWhiteRose cohort. Really great to meet some new people and have a laugh in such a beautiful setting!! Maybe the double 🌈 is a sign my PCR will work tomorrow?🤞

Very excited to announce that the York Microbiology Symposium will be returning on March 25th! We've got an awesome line-up of speakers, including the annual James Burgess Memorial Lecture from the very brilliant Jessica Blair. Save the date! #YMS2024

My work is very serious I promise...

Today #AVERTproject Gavin H Thomas team is participating in the Microbiology Symposium Biology at York. Anticipating insightful talks, kicking off with Daniel Game presentation on the envelope stress responses in 🧪proteobacteria

Had a great time presenting the first five months of my PhD at #YMS2024 - thank you @DrEmilyKPFlack Imran Khan @LianneLansink for organising a great day!

Next week, the Gavin H Thomas team are attending Microbiology Society #Microbio24. Catch a glimpse of Daniel Game's poster on envelope stress responses in proteobacteria, part of the #AVERTproject. 🧫🔬

The Gavin H Thomas lab is on tour in Edinburgh next week at #Microbio24 - make sure to visit poster B133 to learn about diversity in PspA/IM30 systems. Looking forward to conference No.1 of my PhD :)

Me walking out of my supervisor meetings...

New paper from the lab, expanding our work on bacterial AT3's using DALI/FoldSeek to provide the first solid structural evidence to support a Transmembrane Acyl Transferase (TmAT) superfamily of membrane-bound enzymes in all three domains of life. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

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)
