Cellular microbiologist at the MRC-CMBI - Imperial College London. We study host-pathogen interactions, in particular we love Salmonella. Views are my own.
London, England
Joined June 2018
So thrilled to join the EMBO young investigator programme. Looking forward to some great times ahead for the lab as part of this community.
27 life scientists have been selected as the newest members of the EMBO Young Investigator Programme. Congratulations and welcome! Read more: https://t.co/5HA7iVfX8D

Salmonella triggers amino acid malabsorption in the ileum to create a a wave of lysine entering the cecum. Decarboxylation of lysine buffers the cytosol to protect against short-chain fatty acids, enabling the pathogen to invade the cecal ecosystem. https://t.co/vpvPEXgUDA

Thank you @ThurstonLab for the amazing opportunity to be part of your Lab. It’s been great working with @Ines_DdO on the exciting work on Salmonella macrophage interactions. Grateful for the https://t.co/MVQzF2lODK which funded my stay @imperialcollege .
Today we said goodbye to @KeringKev, our global hubs fellow from the Kariuki lab in Kenya. Kelvin worked with @Ines_DdO on Salmonella-macrophage interactions - thank you for visiting our lab Kelvin and we wish you the best for the final leg of your PhD.

Happy to see this out in final form! https://t.co/vpIWJWLnAS
Bacteria can counter noncanonical lipid ubiquitination with a #ubiquitin esterase! Fantastic collaboration with @ThurstonLab and @CMBI_Szczesna, with @r_lacoursiere driving our side of the project using some amazing tools built by the Geurink lab.
