Bacteriocins are toxins deployed by bacteria to kill their competitors. Here, I reflect
on my laboratory’s work on protein bacteriocins and their immunity proteins from Gram-negative
bacteria. We unco...

Delighted to share that I have been awarded a Springboard award from @acmedsci.bsky.social! Excited to start investigating how E. coli uses different bacterial competition systems in the gut microbiome
Why do bacteria carry multiple similar weapons? Great to team up with @s-booth.bsky.social again, combining some very cool experimental work and bioinformatics to investigate why bacteria keep hold of seemingly redundant weapons.
Less than 2 weeks left to apply for this PhD position with me at the University of Reading! Perfect for anyone interested in the impact of bacterial ecology on disease in the microbiome!
