Langridge Lab
@langridgelab
Dr Gemma Langridge's bacterial niche adaptation lab group based @quadraminstitute.bsky.social
Then our PostDoc Claire Hill is presenting her work on the miobiome of Salmonella Dubin. Thanks @getgenome.bsky.social
so pleased to be at the #MicrobialGenomics ECR Symposium today where our ECRs are presenting their latest work Our @eh-hayles.bsky.social just gave her talk about gene, genomic & phage variation in STEC stx2a in England. She could be your future microbial genomics bioinformatician! #openforhire
Who spotted our @gemma-langridge.bsky.social on @itvnews.bsky.social yesterday?!📺#PIinthelab With #Salmonella cases spiking to high levels, Gemma & @ukhsa.bsky.social are reminding us to follow the 4Cs of food hygiene: ❄️Chill appropriately 🍳Cook thoroughly 🧼Clean well 🙅♂️Avoid Cross-Contamination
Its about time we got together to celebrate @nisbetalice.bsky.social awesome 1st author paper.🎉🥳🎊 In Langridge lab tradition, she received her paper as a coaster before we got our competitiveness out & demolished all of the pizza 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕 hmmm... what shall we celebrate next...

We want to thank you all for seeing & engaging with our @emmabeansworth.bsky.social, @c-hill13.bsky.social & @eh-hayles.bsky.social who presented their latest work & with our @gemma-langridge.bsky.social who helped chair a #cool new session on transformative tools for biological complexity 😎
Before we all run off back to @quadraminstitute.bsky.social we wanted to thank @microbiologysociety.org for anorher wonderful conference We have all had a great time at #microbio26 networking & hearing #cool science. Please watching for our news this year will be an awesome 1 for the whole group..
Someone is very happy with themselves to have won some prizes from @microbesng.bsky.social at @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26. Our @gemma-langridge.bsky.social is looking forward to playing the biology word game on her office white board when she gets back to @quadraminstitute.bsky.social
Now we have our @c-hill13.bsky.social presenting her work on mobilome of #Salmonella Dublin, you can find her at poster 210. Later this afternoon we have our @gemma-langridge.bsky.social co-chairing the transformative tools for biological complexity sessions 😀
Amazing 2nd day @microbiologysociety.org ##microbio26 with our @eh-hayles.bsky.social & @emmabeansworth.bsky.social presenting their work so well💪 They will be here for the rest of the conference if you have any more burning questions or about their preprints tiny.cc/y0u1101 tinyurl.com/yezwu6ws

Also at 2:30 our @emmabeansworth.bsky.social is presenting our latest update on genomic rearrangements, & the dramatic impacts this type of variation has on pathogenetic traits like #antibiotic resistance & #virulence. She maybe tiny, but the red makes her easy to find if you wanna ask her qs after😆
Last time we were all in Belfast for @microbiologysociety.org #microbio26 things were a little bit different... We are pleased that @c-hill13.bsky.social is now officially 1 of us! She (B210) & @eh-hayles.bsky.social (A39) have posters, @emmabeansworth.bsky.social has a talk Tues in #genomics forum🧬
Our @nisbetalice.bsky.social and @gemma-langridge.bsky.social are in Cambodia 🇰🇭 Powering through the jetlag, they are sharing their research on typhoidal #salmonella 🧬🦠 in collaboration with #ukhsa and #fijinationaluniversity #takeontyphoid #phnompenh
That's a wrap! 🧬 The microbes were evolving, vibing and thriving across many environments! 🦠 It was amazing to see so many budding scientists today at Norwich Science Festival, all full of curosity and creativity! 👩🔬 #Science is best when shared - thank you so much to everyone who came to see us! 🧪🔬
Evolution incoming!🦠 Langridge Lab and co from @quadraminstitute.bsky.social are at Norwich Science Festival today hosting Evolve, Survive, Thrive! 🧬 Can you work out what bacteria need to survive in the human gut? Or how about under the sea? Come and see if you can create the ultimate survivor! 👩🔬
Something exciting is evolving... 👀🧬 The Langridge Lab will be back at Norwich Science Festival on Monday- and we're bringing a new activity with us! 🥳 Check out the sneak peek below 🤫 Will you be able to Evolve, Survive, Thrive? 🦠 Only one way to find out... Be sure to drop by and join the fun! 👩🔬🧪
To round off a very successful day - @nisbetalice.bsky.social won the people’s choice presentation prize!
Chairing session three: bacterial genomics 🧬 our @eh-hayles.bsky.social expertly steered the session - asking insightful and thought provoking questions that delved deep into some awesome science on topics from #biofilms to vitamin B12! 🦠🧫
Following on, our @nisbetalice.bsky.social talked about her work on #Salmonella Paratyphi A, examining the #genomics, metabolic capacity and transcriptomic profile of disease progression in carriage cases - as part of another exciting collaboration with @ukhsa.bsky.social 🦠
Our @eh-hayles.bsky.social and @nisbetalice.bsky.social are giving oral presentations at the @quadramsf.bsky.social student science showcase today! A great snapshot of the abundance of diverse, exciting #science occurring across the student population of @quadraminstitute.bsky.social 🦠🔬👩🔬
As we wrap up for a well deserved festive break, we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas from all of us in the Langridge lab @quadraminstitute.bsky.social We look forward to sharing more of our exciting science with you as we smash our goals for 2026! But first lets relax & get festive
Yesterday, we said, "See you next time" to our awesome clinical fellow Rachael! We are not sure where the last 6 months went, but we know it won't be long till you are back for your PhD! Until then, at least you are only across the road @nnuh.bsky.social Come back & complete the doctor doctor joke!
But today we have also had @ukhsa.bsky.social's David Greig gave an inspirational talk highlighting the evolution of the use of sequencing technologies in public health surveillance over the last 10 years & the possibilities of including #nanopore sequencing to tackle new questions of the future
Day 3 is a favourite of ours! Not only has @emmabeansworth.bsky.social shown us genome rearrangements are another type of #variation to watch for in #bacterial #genomics & all the possible pathogenic phenotypes these rearrangements change And... today is Em's gateway into Christmas jumper month+...
This year's new intake of @mmbdtp.bsky.social students are enjoying getting stuck into @gemma-langridge.bsky.social's #comparativegenomics for week 4 of their bioinformatics training, with a couple of the #OG students @nisbetalice.bsky.social & @eh-hayles.bsky.social assisting!🧵1/3
We are so pleased to share that our @stevenrudder.bsky.social passed his viva with flying colours today 🥳 👏🎉 Congratulations Dr Rudder!! Huge thank you to Adrain Egli & @alisonmather.bsky.social for examining #PhDone #AcademicChatter You have definitely left your mark on the group & will be missed🦆
We couldn't really let this #postdocappreciationweek pass without pointing out that we've doubled our awesome postdoc quota this year 💪💪 Between Claire and @emmabeansworth.bsky.social this group runs like a well oiled machine and we can't thank you enough for it 🤩 #NPAW2025
As we leave late summer behind & enter autumn & some normality, we have been able to get together to celebrate some awesome achievements by our @stevenrudder.bsky.social & @eh-hayles.bsky.social. In a Langridge lab tradition, both received their coasters of their 1st author papers in the group!🎉🥳🎊
