Thanks so much for having me and being so welcoming! Loved every minute of it! 😊

Membrane-targeting antimicrobials trigger lysis in Bacillus subtilis by disturbing the MreB-dependent regulation of peptidoglycan hydrolases https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.05.01.722135v1

GeneScanner: profiling genetic variation across bacterial populations.

Go, do a PhD with Em! 👌🧪🧫

One week to go… 🚀

New paper 🧪🧬🧫GeneScanner is our new tool to profile genetic variation in bacterial populations. Use via GitHub or @pubmlst.org. Thanks to Ko and Pri @sheppardlab.bsky.social @broncio.bsky.social @kjolley.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org @imibirmingham.bsky.social @ineosoxford.bsky.social

I'm currently advertising a PhD position in my lab, to study the transition from commensal to pathogen in Staphylococcus aureus. Details available here, please share! www.keele.ac.uk/research/pos...

EMBO Symposium alert: Save the date: 9–12 March 2027 Join us in scenic Heidelberg for this unique meeting, covering everything about drug resistance and tolerance. Mechanisms of drug resistance and tolerance in bacteria, fungi, and cancer www.embl.org/about/info/c...

Our B. subtilis autolysis paper by former group members Kenneth Seistrup and @alansckoh.bsky.social is finally out. This one has been lingering in my drawer for far too long. (1/3). #microsky www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
