Who infects whom? A big question in virome research. If you want to learn more, check out the work from @apedramfar.bsky.social from her PhD. #VoM2026

First preprint from my PhD research under the supervision of Ed Galyov and @milja001.bsky.social We developed a novel bacterial minicells platform combined with #metagenomics to selectively enrich cognate #phages from complex environmental samples and investigated phage-host interactions #phagesky

Who Infects Whom? Exploiting Bacterial Minicells for Targeted Virome Enrichment and Phage-Host Interaction Analysis through an Integrated Metagenomic Approach https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.04.08.717211v1

Grateful for the opportunity to speak at VOM-UK! It was very exciting to share a brief snapshot of my research and introduce a novel approach to phage discovery! #bacteriophage #phage
