I feel gratitude and am inspired constantly by the early career scientists I work with at the Sanger Wellcome Sanger Institute .... AshG is an oncologist who is focused on leveraging the human microbiome to save and improve patient lives...great blog below.. sangerinstitute.blog/2024/09/06/per…

If you work with metagenomes (or metatranscriptomes), would like to explore what viruses/phages are in your datasets, but don't know where to start, we have (an) MVP for you now \o/ Really happy to see this one published, and also welcoming feedback/suggestion of improvement!

🚨 We discovered a new genetic code, "Genetic Code 34," sporadically distributed in archaea. Select archaea have genome-wide recoding of the TAG stop codon to pyrrolysine; the adoption of this code was likely driven by metabolic processes. (1/2) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am so proud to be sharing that our Australian Pathogen Genomics Program foundational paper describing the steps we took to implement Australia's largest scale #MRFF national translation research program for public health pathogen #genomics is published! 🎉🧬CONGRATS TEAM! 🧬🎉sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🎉Congratulations to trevor-lithgow.bsky.social for winning the Monash Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences Dean's Awards for Excellence in Equity, Diversity & Inclusion! His activities through our Centre created meaningful Indigenous engagement in research and showcased the microbial diversity of Wurundjeri country!

🦠🧬Our paper is live Cell: Genome integrity sensing by the broad-spectrum Hachiman antiphage defense complex authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00… Through structural, genetic and microbiological approaches, we show that Hachiman degrades DNA… by sensing low integrity DNA.

Proud to see this paper from the lab out today nature showing how rifaximin use is driving dapto-R in VRE. Many years of work, great multi-disciplinary collaborations. Led by Adrianna Turner and Glen Carter Doherty Institute UniMelb MDHS Austin Health rdcu.be/dXUDt

Thrilled to be a 2024 Big Science Pitch finalist! 🥳🤩 Join me Nov 13 (link below) to discover how we’re tackling superbug resistance with innovative DNA-based approaches. Excited to share our vision for new treatments! Register: eventbrite.com.au/e/big-science-…
