@samlipworth.bsky.socialReposted by @modmedmicro.bsky.socialWe're offering a great DPhil opportunity to look at comparing E. coli strain dynamics in gut in health and disease with ultimate aim of developing novel therapeutics. Opportunity to learn wet and dry lab skills including long-read metagenomics, biostastical + ex-vivo modelling. Happy to chat pls RT!
@samlipworth.bsky.socialReposted by @modmedmicro.bsky.socialGreat new work from @dotnagy.bsky.social who has developed EpiSENTRY which performs sample size calculations for public health WGS surviellance studies. She applies to data from the NEKSUS study to estimate how much sequencing is enough for GNBSI surviellance in England. @modmedmicro.bsky.social

Hospital sinks are essential for handwashing, but beneath the basin lies a complex microbial environment that may present challenges for infection prevention...

@modmedmicro.bsky.socialA great opportunity for someone interested in #metagenomics, microbial genomics, #bioinformatics, AMR and infectious disease epidemiology!
The deadline for applications to be considered for internal funding for entry in 2027 is Tuesday 1st December 2026.
@modmedmicro.bsky.socialThe project will explore how metagenomic sequencing of composite samples from patients and healthcare environments can be used to improve surveillance of pathogen and #AMR transmission.
@modmedmicro.bsky.socialDPhil opportunity at the University of Oxford 🦠 We’re looking for a motivated DPhil student to join us to develop innovative metagenomic approaches for surveillance of healthcare-associated pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Find out more and apply here!

@bashthebug.netReposted by @modmedmicro.bsky.socialMicrobiology is coming out of the lab! Infusoria, a new exhibition by MMM Artist-in-Residence Anna Dumitriu, runs in the JR Hospital from 26 Sept–6 Nov 2026. New works inspired by Oxford research explore hospital sinks, wastewater, water microbiomes and antimicrobial resistance.
