Check out our new paper in Nature Machine Intelligence on predicting the structural flexibility of antibody and TCR CDR loops. Although methods like AlphaFold have transformed static structure prediction, capturing conformational dynamics remains a challenge.
🤔 Do you want to learn data analysis & computational skills but not sure where to start?
💡 Why don't you try one of our Carpentries workshops?

This sort of claim has been around for some time but for microplastics too. The crucial question is: what are health agencies for public health?

Good follow-up talk after attending #CampyUK for the last two days 🦠🦜
Very pleased to have become a certified #Carpentries instructor. Thank you very much to @rr-ox.bsky.social and @sheppardlab.bsky.social for their support.
I will be able to assist The Carpentries' mission to build global capacity in data and computational skills for open and reproducible research.
Carrying on the Peru studies, Kerry Cooper details the introgression of RE-cmeB gene from C. jejuni into C. coli. This gene is involved in multi-drug resistance and found more commonly in commercial chickens 🐓🇵🇪 #CampyUK2025 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk
Ben Pascoe @benizao.bsky.social @sheppardlab.bsky.social shining a light on C. coli - although less common than C. jejuni, it has higher levels of AMR. His work in Peru highlights the importance of this pathogen in LMICs due constant exposure with backyard livestock and antibiotic use 🇵🇪 #CampyUK2025
Our fantastic @sheppardlab.bsky.social DPhil student Madison Goforth gives us a global overview of Campylobacter source attribution and the spread of AMR 🌎💊🌎 #CampyUK2025 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk
#CampyUK2025 organiser Dr Fran Colles @fran-co001.bsky.social outlines findings from the soon to be published PATH-SAFE report - Campylobacter cases and fluoroquinolone resistance are on the rise, with most of these infections coming from chickens 🐓💊 @sheppardlab.bsky.social
Keynote speaker Prof Dave Kelly is providing us with some Campylobacter biochemistry for the first talk for day 2 of #CampyUK2025 ⚛️🧪 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk
Genomic epidemiology of Campylobacter in England and emergence of invasive Campylobacter ureolyticus in England
@ukhsa.bsky.social
@campyuk2025.bsky.social
@amydouglas.bsky.social
Panel discussion time - what are the current and future Campylobacter challenges? Speakers from the Food Standards Agency, British Poultry Association, University of Reading and Christian Medical College 🗣️🗣️ #CampyUK2025 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk
Final talk of the day from the fabulous Marian Dawkins representing @ox.ac.uk . Interdisciplinary methods tell us that chickens infected with Campylobacter behave differently to those which are not 🐓‼️ #CampyUK2025 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk
@microbiolocris.bsky.social presents her findings of C. jejuni ST-52 emergence and survival from farm to fork in the Danish food chain 🍔🍴 #CampyUK2025 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk
Are antibiotics a dead parrot? 🦜Prof Aidan Taylor kicks off the ‘From farm to fork’ session discussing Campylobacter AMR and vaccine development 🧫💉 #CampyUK2025 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk
Another speaker sponsored by @microbiologysociety.org , Prof Sitara Ajjampur talks about age and exposure to infected poultry in backyard chicken flocks as determinants of Campylobacter infections in children in rural south India 🐓🇮🇳 #CampyUK2025 @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk
@sheppardlab.bsky.social collaborator Francesca Schiaffino, sponsored by @microbiologysociety.org explains patterns in persistent Campylobacter infections in LMICs, using data from Peru to investigate complex long-term carriage 🐓🇵🇪 #CampyUK2025 @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk
Pleased to have hosted our workshop “Python Essentials with Git for Data Analysis” at the Weston Library in Oxford — a superb venue for two great days of learning.
A huge thank you to our organisers, instructors, and helpers for making this workshop possible!
#Oxford #Reproducibility #Carpentries
Epic science. Epic photos 🐦
A warm welcome from the head of @biology.ox.ac.uk Prof Martin Maiden and a thank you to our sponsors @microbiologysociety.org, Don Whitley Scientific and @genewiz.bsky.social
Our very own @sheppardlab.bsky.social DPhil candidate Amy Douglas representing the @ukhsa.bsky.social giving us some Campy stats 🤩🤩🤩 #CampyUK2025 @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk
Fascinating talk from keynote speaker Dr Christine Szymanski about how Campylobacter jejuni has evolved to colonise and survive the breastfed infant gut #CampyUK2025 @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk
