The Bayer-Santos Lab, along with researchers at the University of São Paulo, have discovered salmonella toxins that could lead to healthier microbiomes and new targetted antibacterial therapies. See: cns.utexas.edu/news/research/…

Hantaviruses kill nearly 40% of those infected and there’s no approved treatment or vaccine, making them a concern for future pandemics. The most detailed 3D map yet of a key protein complex on the virus might yield new treatments. cns.utexas.edu/news/research/…

A message from Interim President Jim Davis: “It’s been a tragic week in Texas. We deeply mourn the loss of so many lives from the hill country floods and pray for all who are impacted. We are also grateful for those working tirelessly to help and the many lives they have saved. As Longhorns, we pause to remember those lost, take stock of our many blessings, and continue to do our part to care for those affected.”

Recently published article from the Davies Lab shows wide diversity of microcins that may one day aid in the fight against antibiotic resistance.

Dr. Grace Kago, researcher in the Payne Lab, recently had her e-learning community that translates science into Kikuyu, a Central Kenyan language, included in UNESCO’s Open and Inclusive Science Hub. For more, see lcid.utexas.edu/news/announcem…

Research by LCID members is having a profound impact on the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. Please join us and support the LaMontagne Center for Infectious Disease in its mission today – donate now on this final day of 40 for Forty: lcid.utexas.edu/lamontagne-cen…

LCID Members bring expertise in over 30 different diseases. They are investigating several infectious disease aspects, including viral and bacterial mutations, antibiotic resistance, biotechnology, biofilms, nanomedicine, and vaccines. Help us now: lcid.utexas.edu/lamontagne-cen…
