We are a group of microbiologists, biochemists and structural biologists @SheffieldUni studying the molecular basis of bacterial cell physiology, virulence and pathogen-host interactions. In this thread we'll introduce the members of our cluster

Excited to get started as a BBSRC Discovery Fellow at @ScienceShef in October. I'll be looking to understand how bacteriophages hijack their hosts and how we can exploit that understanding towards new antimicrobials 🔬🦠
Meet the 15 new BBSRC Discovery Fellows who are receiving a collective £6m of investment for early-career independent research.
The fellowship scheme, now in its 10th year, supports promising researchers who aspire to secure the future of biosciences.

ALT Snippet of a quote featured in the news item. 'Dr Robert Hardwick, Interim Associate Director for People, Talent and Culture at the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), said: "We are immensely proud to support these fifteen outstanding researchers through our Fellowship scheme. Their projects not only demonstrate remarkable scientific promise, but also the potential to address pressing global challenges. With BBSRC’s support, they are well-placed to lead innovative and impactful research."'
Congratulations Jess! An absolutely beautiful paper on an incredibly important topic

There were hypotheses about the potential drivers of the 22-23 upsurge of scarlet fever and deaths from invasive StrepA, but something was missing. Read our blog from @Jenny_Hall_ID on the investigation here👇microb.io/3WLDIV9 @MM_Sheffield @ClaireyBaggins @FloreyInstitute
Everything you ever wanted to know about the stringent response but were afraid to ask... Very nice primer from @corrigar1, @OrestisSavva and Lucy Urwin

Yesterday we did our first 'Soil is alive' schools workshop with Year 3 pupils @TotleyPrimary Thank you to all the lab @LMoushtaq @hannahmartin160 and @Miles_B_W for volunteering. Looking forward to expanding this across more schools @sheffielduni @MM_Sheffield @PPS_UoS
Is soil alive?
This is the fascinating question our Y3 children are investigating with a little help from @sheffielduni
And another amazing paper from an international team including colleagues from @PPS_UoS and @MM_Sheffield

Fantastic new review on organophosphorus cycling by bacteria by @IanDEALidbury, @sophiegroenhof, @LMoushtaq and @HitchcockLab from @MM_Sheffield
LAB REVIEW - New insights in bacterial organophosphorus cycling sciencedirect.com/science/ar… A comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art of bacterial organophosphorus cycling. Lots of information!! @HitchcockLab @sophiegroenhof @LMoushtaq
We still have 10 fully funded PhD studentships available in our research cluster - details in the 🧵 below. Closing dates are early in the new year so get your applications in soon!
Looking for a PhD position to start in Oct. 2024? We have a wide range of fully funded studentships available in our research cluster at the moment. We'll update this 🧵 with more in the coming weeks. Please contact the supervisors directly for more information
BBSRC-DTP funded PhD investigating how and why soil flavobacteria hydrolyse microbial cell envelopes with @IanDEALidbury and Stephane Mesnage. This will combine molecular biology, structural biology, bacterial genetics, proteomics
