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

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
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! – at Kingston, Ontario
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

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/arti…

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

@Montsee_mora @MitchellJeffs and I made the trek from @queensu to Halifax for #CSM2023, to talk about our work on antibiotic resistance and beta-lactamases. Great conference so far in an amazing city! @CSM2023_Halifax
The lab countdown until the CSM conference in Halifax is on… @CSM2023_Halifax @Montsee_mora @MitchellJeffs
Grateful to #NFRF for awarding our team @queensu (@Micro_Optofluid, Aris Docoslis, @PrameetSheth) an Exploration grant to support our work on detection methods for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Thank you to reviewers. @queensuResearch @QueensUHealth @DbmsTweets
