#nepgconference #2025

I am looking forward to presenting my work next year once again, hopefully with even more data and exciting research to share.

This lovely student-led conference was hosted by #NEPG2025 Conference at Newcastle, where I got to meet a lot of peers and build various connections during my time there.

Grateful to have been given the opportunity to present my research on how Enterococcal Polysaccharide Antigen (EPA) plays an essential role in phage surface recognition on the Enterococcal cell surface envelope.

Some photos!

Thank you Prof Darren Smith for organising this conference on a yearly basis! It is an incredible platform for early career researchers to share their work and get useful feedback from world renowned experts. Until next year!

Found a lot of use through phage genomics workshop hosted by @milja001.bsky.social and it was great learning so much from his genomic pipelines. Lots to learn for me in this field, and very complimentary to my work done in the labs (and scraping alpaca poop for phage isolations!)

The discussions after both my oral and poster presentations were friendly and thought-provoking. I gained incredible inspiration from the work being done by Mikael Skurnik and our discussions after the talk.

I’m very glad to have presented my work on the role of Enterococcal Polysaccharide Antigen (EPA) as a cell surface recognition epitope for Enterococcal phages at Viruses of Microbes (VoM) UK conference this past week.

Could you also please add me! Thanks James
