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!

🗞️ 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

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.

"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...

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.

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:

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

Congratulations @naomilpollock.bsky.social on the appointment 🎉 You're an amazing #science communicator and it'll be great to see you bring that to undergrad #student #teaching.
Good luck with the new #laboratory set up 🧑‍🔬 🧪🔬 Definitely an adventure, hopefully with some bacterial membrane proteins

CARB-X is excited to join Bluesky! As a global public-private partnership addressing the rising threat of drug-resistant bacteria and #AMR, we look forward to engaging with our audience on Bluesky. Learn more about CARB-X below.

Hello world 🌏
The @mcdevittlab.bsky.social team 🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 and I will be posting updates here and on LinkedIn going forward as we depart Twitter/X.
We look forward to sharing our exciting 🧪🔬🦠🧫 work on #biometals, #infection, #bacteriology, #AMR, and #antibiotic development with this community.
