Congratulations 👏 to Matt Giles for representing @mcdevittlab.bsky.social and the Moraes group at the CanBIC-9 conference. A great presentation sharing his recent work on the #zinc uptake pathways in the #AMR bacterial pathogen 🦠 #Klebsiella pneumoniae.
The costs of #antimicrobial resistance 🦠 continue to rise 📈. The Center for Global Development reports that by 2050 #AMR could shrink the global economy by US$1.7T.
Improving treatments and funding development of new antimicrobials 💊 could save millions of lives and billions in healthcare costs.
Thrilled to announce a new @natcomms.nature.com paper led by Alastair Stewart and team @victorchang.edu.au with contributions from @mcdevittlab.bsky.social
Using #cryoEM we discovered unique features of the #Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATP synthase including an unexpected role for #zinc in the complex 🦠🔬
Excited to announce a funded #PhD project with my amazing colleagues Jeff Harmer and Evelyne Deplazes (Uni of Queensland). This collaborative project uses #biochemistry 🧪, advanced spectroscopy, and computational approaches 🖥️ to study a #zinc export system in a priority pathogen 🦠. Find out more at:
Hello world 🌏
The @mcdevittlab.bsky.social team 🧑🔬👩🔬👨🔬 and I will be posting updates here and on LinkedIn going forward as we depart Twitter/X.
We look forward to sharing our exciting 🧪🔬🦠🧫 work on #biometals, #infection, #bacteriology, #AMR, and #antibiotic development with this community.
🚀 PhD Opportunity on Infectious Diseases and #AMR! 🧬🔬
Are you passionate about understanding how #bacteria acquire essential #biometals and cause disease?
We have fully funded joint PhD project (@thedohertyinst.bsky.social) with Prof. Trevor Moraes (@utoronto.ca).
