\"\"<\/a>Jeff moved to Newcastle in 2005 where he became Director of ICaMB before standing down in 2012. \u00a0He founded the Centre for Bacterial Cell Biology<\/a> (CBCB) in 2007, which has since become a world leading centre for microbial research with a strong interest in aiding the discovery of the next generation of antibiotics. \u00a0Jeff’s lab is best known for its ground breaking work\u00a0on the bacterial cell cycle and cell morphogenesis. \u00a0On the ICaMB blog<\/a> we recently highlighted his Cell paper on L-form bacteria and insights into primordial cell division.<\/a><\/p>\n
