Microbiologist and bacterial dietitian mostly focused on Mycobacterium tuberculosis but loves any scientific puzzle especially a metabolic one.
Abi cook did the impossible and measured homeopathic amounts of metabolites in single mycobacterial infected macrophages preserving spatial information.

Compton fete trying to inspire the next generation of scientists
When you publish with us, we have the funds to support Early Career members like George. In this series, we asked George to update us on how he is using his Research Visit Grant support provided by the Society. Stay tuned to hear more from George as they update us on the research visit.
@jnb-lab.bsky.social thanks for coming to visit us and presenting your cool science on understanding mycobacterial biienergetics.
Speakers include @flashton.bsky.social @dralhubb.bsky.social @danybeste.bsky.social @jodywinter.bsky.social @dannagifford.bsky.social and more! Plus, lots of time to interact with other researchers and industry people in the field (including dinner!). Maybe see you there?
To mark #WorldTBDay, we asked Jordan Pascoe, who will be presenting at #Microbio25, to provide insight into their research with @danybeste.bsky.social which furthers our understanding of #AMR in TB

Our research work on itaconate mechanism of action and its dissimilation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is now online. Excellent collaborative work with @LuizCarvalhoLAB and other colleagues at THSTI. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
I am confident that scientific societies will play an unusually important role in the coming years. If you are a microbiologist of any kind, please consider joining @asm.org if you haven't already. There are many ways to get involved, including advocacy. To learn more: asm.org/About-ASM/Vo...
