Joined September 2017
We have 2 fully funded PhD studentships available through the new Yorkshire Biosciences DTP (starting Oct 25) - please share! Both projects are focussed on #phage that infect #Cdifficile

I am thrilled to share the perspective on our latest work just published on @ScienceMagazine. @foster_lab @Sheffield_AFM Bacteria divide to conquer antibiotics | Science

High-level resistance to methicillin requires a distinct form of cell division

Some incredibly exciting work coming from the collaboration between @Sheffield_AFM and @foster_lab. Here, @Olulana4 has shown that MRSA employs an alternate mode of division in order to survive in the presence of methicillin. https://t.co/saZxxdCiXy

In our final post of @ScienceWeekUK, @Laia_Pasquina and @vin_scorpion from @Sheffield_AFM present an overview of a new way to do #AMR research using a microscope and touches samples instead of looking at them. #BSW19 #FloreyCohort

Really nice talk from #Prof_Chris_Dowson about the collaboration needed between different disciplines to understand AMR at the @MedResFdn_AMR week trainning! The @SwonAlliance well represented here in Bristol by @warwickuni and @sheffielduni 💊💊

Today is Friday and for our lab this means Lab cleaning. But there is no reason why this shouldn't be fun! @vin_scorpion and @djang888 made this short video! 😂🎥

Check out this state-of-the-art AFM paper applied to AMR from our former collaborator @Bobatron 🔬🔬
Paper out in @NatureComms. After about a decade of looking at the bacterial cell wall with AFM, I managed to image individual molecular sugar chains. The arrangement of these changes with cell shape. A tool for exploring antibiotic action and cell biology.
