Come and join us!! Wellcome PhD programmes in Hosts, Pathogens & Global Health and One Health Models of Disease now recruiting for entry in October 2024⤵️ ed.ac.uk/edinburgh-infe… Biological Sciences | University of Edinburgh The Roslin Institute Centre for Biomedicine, Self and Society (CBSS) Keith Matthews Ross Fitzgerald Martyn Pickersgill

Latest from the lab! Great fun with Alberto Marina and Avigdor Eldar's labs. Led by Aisling Brady and Elena Cabello Yeves. Characterization of a unique repression system present in arbitrium phages of the SPbeta family: Cell Host & Microbe cell.com/cell-host-micr…



Amazing opportunity for a flexible proactive highly motivated self-starter to be involved in the development and implementation of research strategy The Roslin Institute. elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

Two complementary papers are out today, providing important insights into the intricate mechanisms used by arbitrium phages to control lysis-lysogeny. One is from Avigdor Eldar lab: rdcu.be/dvbe2. The other is from Alberto Marina and my lab: rdcu.be/du9nU

Happy to share our update on the bacterial superantigens rdcu.be/dv2nZ with @StephenTuffs (Dept. of Biochemistry & Microbiology at UVic) Karine Dufresne Aanchal Rishi and Nick. Big thanks to editor Kirsty Minton Nature Rev Immunol for her exceptional help Microbiology & Immunology Schulich WesternU @VPRWesternU

TODAY at 3.30 pm - great opportunity to hear from one of our fantastic students on the Wellcome PhD programme in One Health Models of Disease talking about his work on #AMR Tim Nicholas Lee Ross Fitzgerald The Roslin Institute The Viral Talk Podcast

The first paper from my Daphne Jackson Fellowship with Paul Hoskisson 😷🔬🧫🧬🐸🐍🦎 and @gailmcconnell at StrathPharm&Bio is now published in Microbiology! microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…


Led by Jakob T Rostøl and Nuria Quiles, with Lasa_Lab, we show that prophages utilise noncontiguous operons to balance immunity and autoimmunity. Our results underscore the essential fine regulation of these processes for prophages' life cycle development. nature.com/articles/s4156…
