We know stx-phages give E. coli the ability to produce shiga toxin (STEC). But other than killing the host and releasing toxin, how would a stx prophage effect it’s host? Find our (Professor Heather Allison & Yueyi Cai) work for one of the answers to the question at #VoM2022 Poster Room 4.

Feel glad to be part of the #MicrobialPuppetMaster #MicroCosmic team, exhibited at #Lightwaves2022 😆 Making the phage model is difficult than it looks like. Couldn’t stop thinking the wonder of life (maybe semi-life)…the assembly procedure done “automatically” within a host.

Had my poster presented in Liverpool Cathedral today! I like Faculty Poster Day #HLSPosterDay2022 It is such a good chance to practise poster presentation skill within the Faulty. I was not nervous at all 😆

I made some butter biscuits with 3D-printed models 😋

First day at Evergreen International Phage Meeting with @MicroTanya and Yueyi Cai #hintonlabontour

Looking for postdocs in host-microbe interactions? Check out the CIHMID postdoctoral fellowship! cihmid.cornell.edu/academics-prog… Contact me to discuss projects in bacterial evolution or insect-microbe interactions! Applications due Sept 10.

Loads of fun at #GetCurious today Science and Industry Museum talking about the #phage that kill bacteria vs those that give bacteria superpowers! Big shout out to our fabulous #MicrobialPuppetMasters team of Researchers, students & technicians from University of Salford & Inst of Infection Veterinary & Ecological Sciences Make In Salford

Got involved in #GetCourius at Science and Industry Museum I helped visitors to use VR devices to observe how phages help with CF lungs. Thanks to Paul Miller and Reflex Arc for the VR support. Thanks #MicrobialPuppetMaster team and University of Salford Inst of Infection Veterinary & Ecological Sciences

If you are interested in the biochemistry and structural biology of phage defence systems, then please consider joining us for a PhD at Durham! This is part of an ongoing collab with the wonderful @jay_salsa findaphd.com/phds/project/b…

I felt very happy to join the #GetCurious public engagement event at Science and Industry Museum Thanks for Chloe James and Professor Heather Allison let me know the events and thank Microbiology Society give Aisling Brady and I the chance to write this blog😆

#MGen is looking to appoint a Senior Editor and Editors with demonstrated excellence in an area of microbial genomics and an active microbial genomics research profile. Applications close on Thursday 25 January, find out more on our website: microb.io/4aLtXwa

Last day to register an abstract for a talk all you phagesters! We will try to make sure as many PGRs, Postdocs and Fellows get the opportunity to talk about their research. Its a very supportive audience!! Abstract deadline is today 8th Jan, registration closes on the 15th.

Thrilled about my first oral talk at a major conference at VoM-UK. Huge thanks to Darren Smith & Professor Heather Allison for the opportunity. Sad that @MicroTanya couldn’t make it due to health issue, but deeply grateful for the trust and support！

I'm looking for someone who is comfortable with the assembly of whole genome sequencing data (.fastq files) against reference genomes 🧬 Please reach out if you can help! 🙏 #WGS #Sequencing #Genome #Assembly

Experience groundbreaking discoveries at the Summer Science Exhibits on Tour🤩 Jodrell Bank is thrilled to welcome exhibitors from The Royal Society and The University of Manchester - join us for an incredible weekend of science, free with admission! jodrellbank.net/events/the-roy…

I'm going to be advertising a PhD studentship (open to international students) working on long read pangenome / assembly algorithms in bacteria. Would suit someone with maths/compsci background. Aptitude and interest more important than experience. Advert to follow. Pls RT!

Happy New Year! We're off to a great start in our lab as we welcome Yueyi Cai to the group. Yueyi will be working on understanding how layered bacterial defence systems are regulated. She will join the brilliant @Multi_Defence team. Welcome!
