Poster title
Antibiofilm efficacy of phage cocktails and their combination with antibiotics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Excited to have presented part of my PhD research as a poster at the American Society for Microbiology ASM Microbe 2026 in Washington, D.C.
It was a fantastic opportunity to share my work, learn about the latest advances in microbiology, and connect with an inspiring community of researchers and industry innovators. I was especially impressed by the technologies and solutions being developed to advance and simplify laboratory research.
A huge thank you to my supervisors, Professor Mark Willcox and Professor Naresh Kumar, for their continued guidance and support. Special thanks to Dr. Umme Laila Urmi for sharing your experience, and to GRS for supporting my attendance through a travel grant.
Grateful for the experience and the new connections made along the way.
