If you've induced phages, you may have wondered if you can do the 'opposite' - block entry into lysogeny. You can, using protein synthesis inhibitors! Better still, this yields a potent synergy, functionally turning a temperate phage into a virulent one. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Charles Bernstein giving a superb presentation on the MAGIC study from the IMAGINE SPOR Network network at #DDW2024. Clear description of symptoms in inactive vs active Crohn’s. Symptoms similar in both groups but more severe in the active group.

Just did a group meeting of a PhD student in the cloud. It takes courage to say I'm stuck, confused, discouraged. This vulnerability elicited solidarity and support from the group, and a flood of new ideas and hope. It was gratifying for everyone.

Personal news. Just got back from a meeting in Banff. Was honored to receive an award. Particularly touched that it is in the name of Richard. A very close friend and someone I miss almost daily - still.

Congratulations to John Whitney, who has received an NFRF Exploration Award. The new funding will support the development of a machine learning approach for the discovery of antimicrobial proteins. Congrats also to McMaster's other deserving recipients!

Super excited to share my first publication! Alex and I did a deep dive on AMR and learned so much during the whole process. Huge thanks to Gerry for his guidance and support. Give it a read because there's always something new to learn about AMR! @gerryiidr

I've created a website called Data Hacks, which contains over 1,000 quick R and Python tutorials. Solutions are shown without unnecessary talk, allowing you to quickly find code snippets for specific problems. The graph in this post displays some of the plots created on Data

such an awesome place for a birthday hike

🙏🏻 Roberto for this beautiful & inspiring piece 👏 Monod, Jacob, Luria etc said that Existentialism was the only honest philosophical choice for scientists. Instead, I growingly feel also oriental wisdom & its emphasis on non-dualism as the right way to go journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb…

Congratulations Haley!! Sorry I could not be there, I am sure it was a great defence!

What. A. Day. @ the East Midlands Microbiome Res Network Day! Got to pitch some of my crazy ideas and meet *so* many faces I am used to only seeing online. Thank you so much for the invite Lesley Hoyles , Leah Cuthbertson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🧬 , @kim_hardie et al.

For most of the past 3 decades, bronchiectasis has been treated as an infectious disease. A new Review in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine argues that bronchiectasis is primarily a chronic inflammatory disease and introduces a novel concept of disease activity: hubs.li/Q02FqqBl0

Early Biologic Treatment Decreases Risk of Surgery in Crohn’s Disease but not in Ulcerative Colitis: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. In previous meta-analyses, early biological use has been associated with a lower relapse rate and higher clinical remission. This study

Seriously? Such an ad on a subway train? Boston is the world’s capital of biotechnology, people keep saying.

Excited to share a breakthrough from our team published today in Nature Communications !🌟 We make phages more accessible by rethinking the century-old methods phage therapy currently relies upon. Full article : rdcu.be/dNq8s Tohid Didar Sylvain Moineau McMaster University McMaster Engineering
