We had an exciting talk at today's seminar, first on Polymicrobial interactions in Cystic Fibrosis @ambercutcliffe.bsky.social, and Coalescence in host spring microbial communities @magdalenakurteu.bsky.social.
Thanks to @microbesng.bsky.social for the snack!
We are excited to be at @ox.ac.uk today for the IDEU Symposium 2026
Would you like to know more about Microbial Sequencing? Come and chat to us in the break

We had two interesting talks at today's seminar: Eric spoke about the multistep pharmacodynamics of multimodal antibiotics, and @laurasanrub.bsky.social spoke about the long-term evolution experiment in defenseless PA01.
Again, huge thanks to @microbesng.bsky.social for the snacks.
Today's seminar featured one of MERMan's PIs, @sarafederici.bsky.social, who discussed how phage therapy could be improved to target gut pathobionts in IBD.
Thanks to @microbesng.bsky.social for the snacks.

Calling all microbial genomics early-career researchers in the Midlands, great event in Nottingham (5 June)
Ryan is stood to the right of his title slide which reads: Smart-Phage: designing synthetic bacteriophage to defeat superbugs
Dolan is stood to the right of his title slide which reads: modelling the fallopian tube in a microfluidic setting
From phages to fallopian tubes - in last weeks seminar we heard about designing synthetic phages from Ryan ⚙️
And Dolan from the Tank lab @raveentank.bsky.social spoke about their microfluidic fallopian tube models 🧫
This week we kicked off the new year with a great talk about endosymbiosis evolution by Dan Malumphy 🔬
Thank you to @microbesng.bsky.social for supplying us with snacks! 🍪
