#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

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

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/… @DbmsTweets @QueensUHealth #AMR #AntibioticResistance

“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!
Call for volunteers! If you are interested in joining a science podcast team, contact us! 🙂 #neuroscience #podcast #neurodegeneration #Alzheimers
