so pleased to be at the #MicrobialGenomics ECR Symposium today where our ECRs are presenting their latest work Our @eh-hayles.bsky.social just gave her talk about gene, genomic & phage variation in STEC stx2a in England. She could be your future microbial genomics bioinformatician! #openforhire

🚨Two exciting updates! The first, our new preprint assessing the dynamics of Shiga toxin subtype #stx2a in #STEC across England, 2016-2024 is now live! Read the preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to share our latest preprint! Food surveillance detects lots of #Salmonella but only some cause disease. Using large-scale #genomics, we show that risk: - clusters at the lineage level, driven by mobile genetic elements - markers can be IDed including a phage in Agona - can be predicted

This is no April fools!!! 🚨 @langridgelab.bsky.social has a funded #PhD for UK candidates Do you love #microbiomes, #bioinformatics & translational science? Come & join us, & @andrewjpage.bsky.social at @originsciences.bsky.social & get stuck into a ton of #metagenomic data🧬 Apply by 8 April

Evolution incoming!🦠 Langridge Lab and co from @quadraminstitute.bsky.social are at Norwich Science Festival today hosting Evolve, Survive, Thrive! 🧬 Can you work out what bacteria need to survive in the human gut? Or how about under the sea? Come and see if you can create the ultimate survivor! 👩‍🔬

📻 Tune into BBC Radio Norfolk at 2.20pm to hear our researcher @emmabeansworth.bsky.social talk about the launch of the 'Am I a Scientist' online teaching resource ⤵️ buff.ly/QdHqWf4

Lovely reminder from @langridgelab.bsky.social that today’s actually the first day of the final year of my PhD – only a slightly daunting prospect…

Delighted to share that @stevenrudder.bsky.social has passed his viva today!! Congratulations Dr Rudder, and a huge thank you to @alisonmather.bsky.social and Prof Adrian Egli for examining. Steven, this is so well deserved, we're all super proud of you #PhDone

Lovely to see that our latest paper investigating #SARS-CoV-2 genomic epidemiology in #Norfolk was one of the most read papers last month in #MicrobialGenomics! Read here: www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

As we leave late summer behind & enter autumn & some normality, we have been able to get together to celebrate some awesome achievements by our @stevenrudder.bsky.social & @eh-hayles.bsky.social. In a Langridge lab tradition, both received their coasters of their 1st author papers in the group!🎉🥳🎊

Waiting for the rain to stop? ⛈️ Need a good read? 📃 Our @eh-hayles.bsky.social has written a blog discussing her research exploring & understanding how SARS-CoV-2 spread & evolved in #Norfolk during the #COVID-19 pandemic 🦠 She shows the powers of #sequence surveillance & #epidemiology💪
