Monthly: September 2015

The lab spent the first part of this week at the second Midlands Molecular Microbiology Meeting (M4) in Nottingham. This year’s meeting included talks from Mark Pallen (Warwick) on microbial archaeology, Gadi Frankel (Imperial) on modelling bacterial infections, and  Mike Ibba (Ohio) on translation regulation. A personal highlight was Liz Sockett’s  (Nottingham) fascinating overview of Bdellovibrio and the tricksthey use to invade and consume prey bacteria. Particularly pleasing for our group was Lisa’s prize for the best talk from selected abstracts. You can see a shorter version of Lisa’s winning presentation here.
