Great day at Flinders University Open Day 2026! Talking all things microbiology, bacteriophages, phage therapy, bioinformatics and marine science, and hopefully inspiring a few future scientists along the way! Of course, the giant microbes and inflatable shark may have stolen the show.

Excited to share my PhD work at #VoM2026 exploring what drives phage infectivity in cystic fibrosis-associated Achromobacter. Across 105 phage–host interactions, we found host identity plays a major role, with defence systems and phage tail architecture adding further complexity.

🚨New Review Out🚨 We explore how phage-antibiotic synergy can dismantle efflux-driven resistance in multidrug-resistant ESKAPEE pathogens. By reprogramming bacterial defences, phages offer a precision strategy to restore antibiotic efficacy. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Reprogramming resistance: phage-antibiotic synergy targets efflux systems in ESKAPEE pathogens | mBio

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest threats to global health. If unaddressed, it is projected to cause over 39 million cumulative deaths globally by 2050 (1). While resistance is a b...
