Proud #supervisor announcements! Congratulations to two of my brilliant PhD students 🌟
🥳 Huge congrats to Salma Naleem for winning the University of Melbourne 3 Minute Thesis competition,
and Abigail Hartono for winning the Graduate Student Poster Award at the Doherty Symposium!
🔥 You’re both stars!
"Closure of the Fleming Fund risks undermining UK leadership on AMR." BSAC is seeking urgent clarification from the Government regarding the UK’s future leadership on antimicrobial resistance (#AMR), following reports that the Fleming Fund – the UK’s flagship global AMR programme – is set to close.
Hello, it’s lovely to be here. I’m so glad to share with you insights for leaders about cultivating inner and outer change. Please enjoy, and let me know what’s resonating for you! ✨ commaleadership.com/leadership-i...
🗞️ New interview!
@camcdevitt.bsky.social and @ellacasale.bsky.social of @thedohertyinst.bsky.social spoke to The Australian Financial Review about developing PBT2, a CARB-X-supported oral therapeutic that aims to restore the activity of antibiotics used to treat CABP. 🧪 #IDSky

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:
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.
Congratulations to @camcdevitt.bsky.social @ellacasale.bsky.social and @blisscunningham.bsky.social for progressing in the CSIRO ON Innovation program to the ON Core stage. Great insights, advice and support on how to bring new #biomedical #AMR #technology to patients.

Antimicrobial Resistance #AMR is a term most people have never heard of before yet it's a global health crisis
Our charity, #theAMRnarrative has created a 90-second explainer video to help you grasp the basics

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.
