I'm really really happy to see this work in the world!
Using a new experimental infection assay, researchers studied evolution of Staphylococcus aureus in macrophages to reveal a conditional adaptation that promotes bacterial survival in the cells, as well as resistance to vancomycin. @mbiojournal: https://t.co/zSzvjAFVGE

Can AI guide the selection of phages for a particular E. coli UTI? Our paper is a proof of concept that indicates that it can! https://t.co/2lhcuYtZ2q

Extremely proud to have contributed to the first lab's publication!!! Really great team effort and nice little story. Hopefully it will help others with the nightmare that is/was transforming #GAS emm1 strains.
Super excited to share our first paper from the lab 🥳 A real team effort with great work from @juevalves, @ConnorB_micro, Josh Rand and Alix Johnston.

Just another incredibly beautiful work from @helenaapinheiro!
New cover @NatImmunol depicting NK cell-intrinsic sex differences. O'Sullivan & Maureen Su Labs @UCLA show that an extra copy of the X-linked epigenetic regulator UTX in female mice increases NK cell effector function in female mice. #sciart #scicomm

Amazing to see this out! Great project and team :) It was really fun to see this project come to life. @NatalieAnneRing can I get some credit for being an amazing desk partner and not disturbing you tooooooo much? 😉
I'm excited to share the first Dogstails paper (preprint), which thoroughly describes all the optimisation work we've done since 2019 to develop a rapid diagnostics and AMR prediction pipeline for canine clinical samples, using @nanopore sequencing! https://t.co/gUggz9apyD
