Honoured and delighted to have joined this prestigious bunch. A million thanks to everyone who has contributed, supported, encouraged and most importantly consoled along the way!

What is the cost of science being conducted in English? Tatsuya Amano &co reveal that non-native English speakers spend more effort than native speakers in conducting scientific activities (reading, writing, preparing presentations...) #PLOSBiology plos.io/46Rfptc

Happy to see this work online in PLOS Pathogens on the metabolic re-programming of a pentose phosphate pathway mutant in S. aureus. journals.plos.org/plospathogens/… Vinai Thomas Felipecava.mims JOG_Lab_Galway Umeå University Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway University of Galway Research & Innovation University of Nebraska Medical Center UNMC Pathology, Microbiology & Immunology 1/4

Wonderful group of trainees at the #staphgrc. Excited to get back to science after great interactions with collaborators, career mentors and new Staph friends! Samira Weißelberg Dora Bonini Dennis A DiMaggio Jr

A recap and highlights of the final version of our paper on antimicrobial combinations! Out now in Nature Microbiology nature.com/articles/s4156…

Paper alert! The most recent work by Dr. Exene Anderson untangling the intricacies of how #MRSA regulates our favorite toxins is out in ASM. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

Happy to share our new paper out today on WalKR; the only essential two-component system in S. aureus. We found that WalKR is at the heart of cell growth, linking cell wall turnover to initiation of DNA replication and other essential processes. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… (1/5)

Congrats To Dora Bonini passing her PhD viva today 🎉🎉🎉🎉 And huge thanks to Matthew Avison and Rebecca Corrigan for examining 😊

Exited to share our new publication featuring the fascinating lipoteichoic acid polymer in the envelope of Staphylococcus aureus, with insights on how its synthesis is regulated, and its contribution to protein secretion! Missiakas Lab Shafi Azam journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Bye bye student discounts! I have a doctorate now! Thanks to everyone who supported me throughout 🤗 Congrats to all graduates! School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine🏳️‍🌈😷 National PhD Training Programme in AMR #BristolGrad #CMMBristol

Check out #AccessMicro negative results collection highlighting studies that didn’t work out as planned, but produced rigorous data, with an introductory editorial from the inimitable Elisabeth Bik Microbiology Society

Conference location already gets top marks! Can't wait for #Microbio24 starting tomorrow!

Together with the British Mycological Society, we are delighted to announce Dr Seána Duggan (MRC Centre for Medical Mycology University of Exeter Faculty of Health & Life Sci), as the winner of the 2024 Tony Trinci Award. Dr Duggan will present her talk at the #Microbio24 Infection Forum today at 16:00. Learn more: microb.io/4aqdwoN

Join us next month at the Pint of Science UK Miniature Killers event to hear all about bacterial pathogenicity, molecular weapons and our favourite golden killer S. aureus, plus two other great virus-themed talks 🧫🦠 🗓️13th May 7.30 📍BS50SP pintofscience.co.uk/event/miniatur… School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine🏳️‍🌈😷

Come jobs the lab in Bristol to help support two very exciting Microbiology projects: jobs.ac.uk/job/DHH441/res…

I can't believe that today will be my last day at School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine🏳️‍🌈😷 after almost 5 years, a PhD, a postdoc and countless S.aureus and pneumo cultures! Very grateful and teary for all the opportunities and support I've had here and excited for the next chapter.

A fond farewell to the wonderful Dora Bonini ….. marked for life from having spent 5 years in the lab 😂🥳😎

Very happy to see this out in mBio. Our little MspA in S.aureus affects LTA synthesis regulating LtaS processing via SpsB, with implications on cell cycle progression

Exciting news: 2 postdocs available in the Cork lab, come help us crack the secrets behind how S. aureus causes bacteraemia, lots of interaction with the SNAP Trial, Dr Rachel Mcloughlin and Mario Recker too! Please retweet 😊 my.corehr.com/pls/uccrecruit… Use this reference: 078812

With a bit of a delay I'm very happy to share that two weeks ago I started a new postdoc at The University of Sheffield in the Foster Lab - here's Firth Court in all of it's autumnal beauty
