Join me and other fantastic experts this Friday, online or in person !!

#AntibioticResistance is a global threat, says @WHO. Microbiologist @PrameetSheth has a potentially game-changing treatment. On World Antibiotic Awareness Week, learn about the battle against antibiotic-resistant diseases in his #ResearchTalks: bit.ly/3QKcwTw

From our Emerging Investigator collection 🎉 ’Development of a whole-cell biosensor for β-lactamase inhibitor discovery’ by @ctlohans and first author @MitchellJeffs. buff.ly/3QhroJ6 buff.ly/3QhroJ6

Very happy to share @MitchellJeffs first paper from our lab! A biosensor strategy for quantifying beta-lactamase inhibition in a cellular context, prioritizing discovery of hits that work vs cells. #AMR @QueensUHealth @DbmsTweets pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

The misuse of antibiotics has fuelled the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, pushing us to the brink of a post-antibiotic era. Watch Race Against Resistance: youtube.com/watch?v=5U3k9r…. #Ad presented by @AMRActionFund, @pfizer, @SHIONOGI_JP, @MSDInvents. #RaceAgainstResistance

Eye-opening survey of the current burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the Americas published in @LancetGH for 35 countries, 23 bacterial pathogens, and 88 pathogen-drug combinations (🧵1/4) thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/…

Very happy to share the latest from our lab by @MitchellJeffs ! A cell-based assay that tests beta-lactamase inhibitors against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria rather than purified enzymes (evaluating factors such as cell wall permeability, etc) #AMR @QueensUHealth @DbmsTweets

Race Against Resistance: The Life And Death Struggle To Save Antibiotics. This new documentary film from @BBCStoryWorks — featuring @McMasterU's @ItsJonStokes and @eric_brown_bbs — profiles the global struggle to solve #AMR. Premieres September 5, 2023. youtube.com/watch?v=S-rqBa…

⁦@Montsee_mora⁩ ⁦@MitchellJeffs⁩ and I made the trek from ⁦@queensu⁩ to Halifax for #CSM2023, to talk about our work on antibiotic resistance and beta-lactamases. Great conference so far in an amazing city! ⁦@CSM2023_Halifax⁩

@Montsee_mora killing it at her Mini-masters presentation today. 🙌🏽

Huge congrats to Rachel Gray, first grad student in the lab, on becoming the first alumna of the lab after a strong MSc defence! #proudPI Now on to bigger and better things in Toronto!

Congrats to @MitchellJeffs on his first publication! Our editorial on targeting MBLs to overcome bacterial resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics is now out in @fsgfmc future-science.com/doi/epub/10.41… @DbmsTweets @QueensUHealth #AMR #AntibioticResistance

@ctlohans @DbmsTweets Ahhh you caught me with my eyes closed 😂 😂😬

Obligatory screenshot of our first lab group meeting in @DbmsTweets! #NewPI

“If we characterize how these resistance mechanisms work, this may help inform the development of new antibiotics which can delay the onset of antibiotic resistance," 🦠 @ctlohans Assistant Prof @DbmsTweets is working to mitigate #AntibioticResistance ➡️fal.cn/3bCVM

science friends! i'm working on a podcast series that covers ALL the literature in Alzheimer's research each month, because who the heck has time to navigate 1000 abstracts! it's a v cool project (we have a couple trial episodes out) but we'd love some help. DM me for more info!

Welcome to Twitter, @MitchellJeffs, and looking forward to welcoming you to the lab @DBMSTweets @queensu in September! #newPI #firstgradstudent
