Interested in host-pathogen interactions, secreted effector proteins, and unusual microbes that lead amazing lifestyles? We are recruiting to two positions - a PDRA (48 months) and a Technician (24 months)!
Both will work on our UKRI-funded programme, using molecular- and biochemical-approaches to understand how tick-borne Anaplasma can interface with, subvert, and make a home within eukaryotic cells.

Absolutely thrilled to be one of the 68 Round 8 Future Leaders Fellows! Massive thanks to @BristolUni , @wbif_bristol , @Berger_labs , Borko Amulic, and Lesley, Ben and Jing at the Tick Cell Biobank - very much looking forward to uncovering how tick-borne bugs subvert host cells!
Today we’re welcoming 68 outstanding researchers and innovators to the Future Leaders Fellowships scheme. Meet them here: orlo.uk/cZEmU

ALT Developing new ideas into knowledge UKRI Chief Executive, Professor Dame Ottoline Leyser, said: UKRI’s Future Leaders Fellowships provide researchers and innovators with long-term support and training to develop ambitious, transformative ideas. The programme supports the research and innovation leaders of the future to transcend disciplinary and sector boundaries, bridging the gap between academia and business. The fellows announced today demonstrate how these awards continue to drive excellence, and to shorten the distance from discovery to prosperity and public good.
Special extra thanks to these lovely people who were so incredibly generous with their help, mentorship, and words of encouragement along the way @pmoyniha , @BanzhafLab , @Jack_A_Bryant , Andy Lovering, Prof Steve Dumler, @brayton_kelly xxx
Please get in contact if you are interested in this technician role in my lab! We use multidisciplinary approaches (with an emphasis on protein and molecular biology) to study how neglected tick-borne bacteria (Anaplasma, mostly) interface with host cells
🚨 job alert 🚨 Research technician role available working at University of Bristol with @ICadby !!! Ian is a fantastic scientist working on some very cool bacteria. Deadline is 11/06/2024 jobs.ac.uk/job/DHU247/resear…

Excited to share our new study on an unusual dynein cargo: an intracellular bacterium! We show that Orientia tsutsugamushi hijacks dynein via BICD2 adaptors. Led by @GiuliaManigras1 with @JSalje's group. Out now in @biorxivpreprint! A thread 🧵 (1/6)

Recommending this exciting PhD project (exploring the structural basis for prey cell recognition by bacterial predators) in the Lovering lab. It's impossible to not be fascinated by these enigmatic bacteria and Andy is one of the most engaging (and nicest) scientists there is!
Apply now! There is an open position for a funded PhD in the lab of Andrew Lovering at @uniBirmingham using structural biology to look at the mechanisms used by bacterial predators.
Deadline: 4 January 2024

PhD scholarship alert! This project uses obligate intracellular tick-borne pathogens as tools for dissecting host cell biology. Main focus is Anaplasma - an amazing and rather unusual bacterium. Get in contact as there are other projects in the pipeline gw4biomed.ac.uk/unlocking-im…

Another exciting PhD project co-supervised with Dr Jamie Mann and funded by our BBSRC DTP @SWBio_DTP : how do secreted effectors of tick-borne pathogens reprogram host cells for intracellular survival?

Great two days at Proteins by Candlelight. Always fun to chat about structural biology with peers and share ideas. Lots of interesting talks & posters. Also, thank you to the organisers for presenting me the Best Poster Prize for my poster on my work on an OMP from Bdellovibrio.

Come read about #microbial #warfare in #bacteria Latest out from @DrLauraNolan and myself @luke_allsopp @ImperialNHLI In the seminar #Pseudomonas book series #CDI #T6SS #pyocin #colicin even a little on #quorumsensing link.springer.com/chapter/10…
Exciting (and faculty funded!) PhD project in my lab @Bristol_Vets @BristolUni and with collaborators in @BristolBiochem to study how tick-borne bacteria are adapted to survive inside host cells.

I am really pleased to share something that @Lis_Lowe and my groups and some of our friends have been working on. Headline: We've identified the first mycobacterial endo-D-arabinanases. We've also found some new exo-D-arabinofuranosidases. Paper here:biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…🧵

Another chapter of the endless DolP saga. We are not entirely sure of its cellular role, but best read for yourself. Congratulation @gabiboeltero and @Jack_A_Bryant. Also thanks to our collaborators @HendersonLab, @GlinkowskaLab and @pmoyniha microbiologyresearch.org/con…
