Exciting new paper in @PLOSBiology — we show that plasmids use translational global regulators to rewire host cells including expression of key ecological traits, like metabolism and motility, whilst also boosting horizontal transmission of the plasmid

This was a big collaborative effort with colleagues at John Innes Centre, Birmingham, Sheffield & Liverpool

Getting in on the #introduction bandwagon! Hi all, I'm a purely computational Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Monash Uni. My research passions are #MicrobialGenomics, #AMR, #Virulence, #MobileGeneticElements & #Epigenomics. I'm most interested in bacterial #InfectiousDiseases, with clinical and/or public health focuses. My research to date has focused on Escherichia coli, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Klebsiella species. Have a lot of experience with NGS data & #phylogenomics. Love research! 🦠
