Great to meet with Senator Richard Colbeck today at Science Meets Parliament #SMP2024 and chat a bit about #AIEthics and trustworthy AI! 🤖 Also amazing to hear about the fascinating research of @erin_brazel @BeardyMcFace and Cameron Gordon! 😊
Our exciting new work shows that S. flexneri redecorates its cell surface when transitioning to an intracellular lifestyle. The pathogen has an appetite for host lipids to supplement its energy needs, thereby depleting host lipid droplets. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb…
There's new hope for millions of Australian children who suffer from painful ear infections. Researchers at the University of Adelaide are on the cusp of a breakthrough, with work underway on a vaccine that could provide a permanent solution. @KomarekMichaela #9News
With clinical trials well underway at CMAX for @gpnvaccines’ new pneumococcal vaccine, we are very grateful for this support to help advance another vaccine into this pipeline to help combat ear and lung infections🧫💉
Spotlight moments continue. Please welcome Early-Career Researchers, Hannah Naomi Agnew @Hannah_sci, Nusrat Nahar and Dinesh Subedi @SubDinesh who will be presenting their work @BacPath next week!
Dysregulation of Streptococcus pneumoniae zinc homeostasis breaks ampicillin resistance in a pneumonia infection model dlvr.it/SH1WYc
Excited for my 1st author PhD paper to be published! We show that #zinc disrupts cell wall synthesis and an #ionophore can restore #antibiotic treatment of #pneumonia in mice. #MakingAntibioticsGreatAgain @RCID20 @UniofAdelaide @McDevitt_Lab @DrMJMaher @StJude @UQ_SCMB @MarkvonI
