It's been a thrill to host Dr Chris Rackauckas for a 2-day visit to our node at QUT. Chris presented a seminar, ran a workshop on High-Performance Scientific Modelling with Julia & SciML, & met with our researchers. Chris is VP of Modelling and Simulation at JuliaHub. @chrisrackauckas.bsky.social

The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria blocks many antibiotics. Our latest work reveals that L-type pyocins bypass this barrier by inactivating the BAM complex, killing Pseudomonas aeruginosa without entering the cell, providing a new blueprint for beating antibiotic resistance.
A Protein Antibiotic Inhibits the BAM Complex to Kill Without Cell Entry
Many antibiotics are ineffective against Gram-negative pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa because they cannot penetrate the bacterial outer membrane. Here, we show that protein antibiotics calle...

Congrats to all authors, especially Lim who had an impressive PhD viva last week! TAC is a very interesting structure linking mitochondrial DNA and basal bodies in trypanosomes
First author of the paper Lim along with his PhD advisor. Congrats both!
