Quadram Institute goes to Microbiology Society annual conference 2024
5th April 2024
Some of our microbiologists attending this year's Microbiology Society conference share their research through poster videos
The Microbiology Society Annual Conference is an international conference that brings together microbiologists to discuss their latest findings.
A group of our researchers are attending the conference in Edinburgh in 2024, to share their latest research into understanding how food and microbes affect our health.
We use our scientific knowledge to deliver healthier lives through innovation in gut health, microbiology and food. Our science is highly interdisciplinary, combining expertise in food science, microbiology, genomics and clinical research.
Some our researchers attending the Microbiology Society Annual Conference share their latest research findings via video recordings of their poster presentations in this week’s blog, coordinated by Dr Muhammad Yasir.
Alice Nisbet
Alice is a PhD student whose research interests lie in investigating virulence determinants in bacterial pathogens and the impact of infectious diseases on the modern world. Alice poster is on metabolic profiling of Salmonella Paratyphi A isolates associated with the bacterial carrier states.
Bilal Djeghout
Researcher Dr Bilal Djeghout is microbiologist with an interest in both biology and molecular biology of zoonotic pathogens within different ecological spheres.
Here he talks about his research poster on “Fluctuations of health, disruptions of the microbiome in a Campylobacter and Salmonella gastroenteritis co-infection.
Caroline Jarvis
PhD student Caroline’s project investigates how genome position affects gene expression in the model organisms E. coli and Salmonella.
Eleanor Hayles
Eleanor’s PhD focus on the genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in East Anglia to understand how the pandemic unfolded within our region. Here she explains her latest findings.
Ho Yu Liu
In her PhD, Ho Yu aims to investigate how multispecies biofilms evolve to stress and how this stress might affect the movement of mobile genetic elements and the evolution of antimicrobial resistance in these biofilms.
