🚨 New preprint 🚨
With two excellent students Shalini Choudhary and Jacob Smith, we started looking at how the metabolic microenvironment of the urinary tract might affect uropathogenic E. coli evolution and response to antibiotics.

A great week last week helping at AMGD. It was exciting to hear how everyone is going to use their new bioinformatics skills in their research 👩💻
To get my account up and running, here is a picture of a bunch of happy folks at the end of the Analysing Microbial Genomic Data course. Next one in June (ish)
