I really enjoyed working on this piece about #AI in #microbiology research with @Thomacillin. We are exploring how the data and the user affect the performance of AI, discuss reasoning, and outline 5 key principles of working with AI. @pharmacyatQUB.

Phages are among the most promising alternatives to antibiotics. By studying phages and developing phage-based solutions, we are trying to address a variety of problems ranging from acne to catheter-associated infections to harmful algal blooms.

Extremely proud of Akash, who successfully defended his PhD thesis on #phage based approaches against CAUTIs! It was a pleasure supervising @ig_8mile with @BrendanFGilmore. Many thanks to Brian Jones and @MatthewPWylie for examining, and to @SheilizaCarmali for chairing the viva!
