Online Science Magazine co-lead with francesspragge! We looked at why microbiome diversity protects against pathogens. It's down to a simple principle of collective nutrient overlap, which can predict protective communities against a given pathogen! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…🧵👇

Delighted to contribute to a new study characterizing polyglucosan bodies in the cerebella of montserrat orioles (Icterus oberi) published today in #VeterinaryPathology journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03…

Delighted to be awarded a Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research New Investigator award exploring the role of host (amphibian) glycans in microbiome assembly and infection. Post-doc position in my group coming soon! #glycome #glycans #microbiome #amphibians #chytrid

Join my lab Blizard Institute for a 3 year Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research funded post-doc exploring how glycans shape the skin microbiome and colonisation resistance in #amphibians!!!! qmul-jobs.tal.net/vx/mobile-0/ap…
