New job offer: we search a postdoc (bioinformatics) to work on mobile genetic elements and gene flow in bacteria, with a focus on antibiotic resistance within a consortium including bioinformatics, synthetic biology, epidemiology & biochemistry. See research.pasteur.fr/en/job/postd...#MicroSky
Using phage therapy to resensitize P aeruginosa to antibiotics in murine lung infection, featuring @mermanchester.bsky.socialwww.nature.com/articles/s41...
BBSRC 2-year PDRA position to work on ecology & evolution of phage therapy with synthetically engineered phages. Part of an exciting multi-university consortium & UK’s Engineering Biology priority. Synthetic genomics; experimental evolution; AMR. www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...#microsky
🎊 First post here 🎊 I am happy to announce that I will join the MMSB lab in Lyon in September to start my own group to study the evolution of phage-bacteria interactions 🦠 🔬🧫 Postdoc position available 🧬🧪 More details below 👇 emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U...
Very nice to see published our first sLola article! Working with every single member of this consortium is really great:)
First paper from the MultiDefence consortium reviewing what we know about multi-layered genome defences in bacteria. Supported by BBSRC sLoLa led by Edze Westra. Aleksei Agapov did a great job pulling it all together! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Just out in The ISME Journal, a paper from my time in the Westra lab. We find that the extent of phage exposure shapes subsequent resistance dynamics over longer timescales (up to 30 days). And huge thanks to first authors @bridgetwatson.bsky.social and Loris for mammoth experiments!
Congrats Josie! 😍
All the best for this new chapter!
