Researchers from Lund University in collaboration with their counterparts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology mapped the atomic-level processes occurring within a #bacteriophage particle when subjected to changes in #temperature. thephage.xyz/2023/11/08/inc…

PhD student Raphael Hans Lwesya’s project is called Bacteriophages in the ageing gut as targeted therapeutics. He will use models and DNA sequencing to ID viruses and bacteria in the gut that can be used in treatments of conditions linked to imbalance in the gut microbiota. #mmbdtpstudents

Scientists from KIST Europe, and INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials in Germany, conducted a study on engineered fd phages for potential applications in the #bioremediation of copper. The promising lab results mark a significant step...... thephage.xyz/2023/11/25/eng…

Scientists from Stanford University published a recent paper that delved into the role of pf4 phage in Pseudomonas infections. The study posits that Pf4, in its interaction with OMVs, curtails inflammatory responses to bacterial endotoxins. #phage #cysticfibrosis thephage.xyz/2023/12/03/tem…

Had a great time presenting my first ever poster at the Quadram student science showcase today! Pleased to have won the runner-up prize for outstanding poster design 🥳🦠 Thanks to my team for all the support 💖#QSSS23

I have a PhD opening in the lab to look at improving detection speed of viruses and bacteria in freshwater with sample processing and nanopore findaphd.com/phds/project/r…

Bacteriophages in food safety This mini-documentary offers a glimpse into how bacteriophages can be applied to food safety. Countries like the USA and others already have some FDA-approved products for food safety. #Bacteriophages #FoodSafety youtu.be/s8dOmRhotVc?si…

Guess what! Phage Directory has a podcast now??! Podovirus Episode 1 is live on Spotify (& we've also published it in blog form on Capsid & Tail). (Thanks Jan 🥱 for the last minute adorable cover art!)

🆕 Blog! How our Research Scientist Dr Luke Acton is exploring spinning out a company, Quadlytics, to improve food safety using the science of bacteriophages 🧪 #WorldFoodSafetyDay buff.ly/3RiqXzl

I'm having a great time at Viruses of Microbes 2024 so far and am looking forward to presenting some of my work with @EvelienAdri in the Bioinformatics session this afternoon! See you there! 👋🦠 #VoM2024 #Phages

A bit jet lagged but excited to be presenting my PhD research with @EvelienAdri at Viruses of Microbes 2024 in Cairns 🇦🇺 #VoM2024 Quadram Institute

A recent study published by scientists from Northwestern University uncovered hundreds of bacteriophages, from samples collected from toothbrushes and showerheads. There was little to no overlap in virus types between different toothbrushes and showerheads thephage.xyz/2024/10/14/ove…

I had an chat with Quadram Institute communication team about my life as a PHD-er and all things about science communication. Including in the article is the interview I had with @EvelienAdri on recent changes on phage Taxonomy.
