Nottingham BBSRC DTP projects posted this week. We (David Negus Robert Atterbury) have a project available under Bioscience for Health: "Genomic characterization of Staphyloccus haemolyticus and associated bacteriophage". See nottingham.ac.uk/bbdtp/our-rese…

BIGSdb v1.43.0 has been released. This version improves database logging of user access to the web interface and API. BIGSdb powers all the databases on PubMLST. Release notes at github.com/kjolley/BIGSdb….

Delighted to announce that I have been promoted as Professor at Institut Pasteur, since 1887. I feel very honored and thankful. Looking forward to continuing our research on microbial pathogen genomics and public health applications! 👨‍🎓

First talk from the lab by Sam Sheppard titled 'Why publish in Microbial Genomics' . #MNGPopUp microbesNG

I'm very excited to announce my research group. Our focus is on obtaining genomes from clinical samples without culture. For more information on Enriching Microbiology, be sure to check my website: enrichingmicrobiology.net

I'm happy to say that I have a 2-year extension on my current post-doc position. I am so grateful to get this opportunity in a job I love🦠
