This past year in MICR 221 and MICR 290 @queensu, we held agar art competitions ('drawing' bacterial cells on agar). We were blown away by the creativity of the students in these labs! Here is a selection of the winners, as voted for by other students @DbmsTweets @QueensUHealth

Congrats to lab group member Laila Masalha on an excellent BMED 897 seminar describing all of her work developing new diagnostics for carbapenemase-producing organisms! #AMR @DbmsTweets @queensu

Our lab @queensu @DbmsTweets is very happy to welcome new and returning undergrad researchers Aditi, Bella, Jinny, Kristen, and Nicole to our group. Also very excited to welcome Emily from @SchofieldOxford for a @MitacsCanada supported internship! #AMR

@Cochrane_lab Yes, for sure, would be great to have you here!

@ctlohans Thanks Chris! Hope all is well with you and Che in the other Queen's. It is definitely one of the places that I need to hit up for a visit in the next few years.

Some good news before the weekend, I've been promoted to Professor! Thanks to all group members and colleagues past and present that have made this possible.

Thanks to all of the organizers and volunteers who ran the @QueensUHealth Research Day! Everyone in our lab had a great time today sharing research on antibiotic resistance. Congrats to Laila for winning a poster prize! @MitchellJeffs @Montsee_mora Laila M., & @DylanZh10280179

Thanks to all of the ⁦@CSM_SCM2024⁩ organizers and volunteers for an excellent conference! Our lab had a great time, and are returning to ⁦@queensu⁩ feeling inspired! #csm2024

A lot of great sessions at @CSM_SCM2024 today! Our lab is presenting work on beta-lactamases on posters 159 (@Montsee_mora - impact of microbial metabolites), 171 (@MitchellJeffs - zinc trafficking), 177 (Laila - inhibitor discovery) and 183 (Dylan - activity in UTIs) #CSM2024

Our lab ⁦⁦is excited to travel to London this weekend for ⁦@CSM_SCM2024⁩ . Looking forward to catching up with friends, learning some new things, and sharing some of our work! #CSM2024

@JeellaAcedo @MountRoyalU Congratulations, Jeella!!

@OmarHalfawy @ACSBioMed @AdamsJoshu26483 Congrats on the great paper @OmarHalfawy and team!

Excited to share our paper in #ACSInfectDis selected as @ACSBioMed Editors’ Choice. @AdamsJoshu26483 discovered new macrolide adjuvants against K. pneumoniae inspired by studying the natural polyamine sensitization of these G- bacteria to macrolides. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Recommend checking out this session on #AMR including @QueensUHealth @DbmsTweets PhD student @Montsee_mora from our lab!

Amazing mini UAlberta/Vederas lab/curling team reunion today in Kingston 🇨🇦 with @colpittsc @ctlohans @AvenaRoss and @Matt_T_Zamora! Excited to visit Queens tomorrow, share our science, and participate in the PhD thesis defense of Ross lab member Manasa!

Credit to @DYDY_Jung for the idea presented at @CSM_SCM in Halifax, and to @ATinyGreenCell for the strains!

Credit to Dylan, Chloe, Brook, Rachel, Zain, and Fianna for their incredible artwork! (check alt text)

This year in MICR 290 @queensu , students tried out some agar art, drawing colourful bacteria on agar plates. Absolutely blown away by the results! Credit to Mishaal, Sara, Media, Myah, Ronin, and Juliet for their amazing art! (check alt text) @QueensUHealth

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 Department of Chemistry at Queen’s University is looking for a Instrumentation Manager-NMR to join our team! Details below: tinyurl.com/4xhvfz9h #chemjobs #chemjobber #chempostdocs #nmr

@KJDeFrance @NSERC_CRSNG Congratulations!

Super excited to continue our research into developing sustainable materials from cellulose and protein! Thanks to @NSERC_CRSNG Discovery for the vote of confidence (and ya, the money! 💸💸). Stay tuned for some exciting science! 🤓🌿🧪
