We have a PhD project as part of this scheme focused on mathematical modelling of STI transmission. Do get in touch if you are interested.

The largest study of the nasal microbiome reveals how bacterial communities shape risk of Staphlococcus aureus infection.

Persistent carriers show fewer bacterial species in the nose, while some microbes may help block colonisation.👇

Great to share the latest work from our group and collaborators. First CARRIAGE study paper led by @drdaggarwal.bsky.social and the heroic efforts of Katie Bellis and Beth Blane in the lab plus all the team at @cambridge-ceu.bsky.social Huge thanks goes to the 22,000 participants of the study

Large-scale characterisation of the nasal microbiome redefines Staphylococcus aureus colonisation status - Nature Communications Here, using samples from ~1,100 individuals, the authors define the nasal microbiome linked to Staphylococcus aureus colonization, identifying seven communities- either S. aureus-dominated or dominate...

Largest study of nose microbiome helps highlight those at risk of Staph aureus infection A study of the human nasal microbiome has allowed scientists to rethink how bacterial communities interact in the nose.

People who persistently carry the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus have a much less diverse community of bacteria in their nose, while certain species may help keep it out. 🦠

These findings offer insight into who may be at higher risk of infection. 👇
