What better way to start off a school year than spending a fantastic week in Copenhagen, learning about my favourite genus of bacteria! Thank you to the organizing committee for this fantastic conference #pseudomonas2024

Couldn't have asked for a better partner! Thank you to everyone behind the scenes who helped plan the event, attended, presented, and sponsored!
It was an honour to be the student co-chair (with @rabiafatima_ ) for this event! I love that I get to complete my graduate work surrounded by so many amazing scientists. Thank you IIDR for another successful Trainee Day!

I had the unique opportunity to write a piece for @macleans on the uses and limitations of AI in drug discovery. A lot of folks much more clever than me also wrote remarkably thought-provoking articles about the modern human experience with AI. https://t.co/gtZDXRn5WM

Our research team used machine learning to discover a new antibiotic. And that’s just the beginning.

It’s a ‘Trojan horse’ approach to tricking bacteria into letting antibiotics in," says @Dr_Lori_Burrows, a professor @BBS_McMasterU @McMasterU. #HamOnt

Research out of Lori Burrows' lab has identified a new approach that uses the nature of bacterial nutrient transporters to help antibiotics more effectively reach their targets.

🔥🔥 The latest from @DerekCKChan1 and @KJosts from the Tidow lab, with help from Kalinka Koteva and @gerryiidr - Interactions of TonB-dependent transporter FoxA with siderophores and antibiotics that affect binding, uptake, and signal transduction 1/10 https://t.co/IlHrvlOFzT

The outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria prevents many antibiotics from reaching intracellular targets. However, some antimicrobials can take a...

Not just a great talk - a winner!! Congratulations @veronicantran for receiving Best Talk award at the #PhageCanada2022 symposium - very proud of my talented trainees 🎉🔥
Loving #PhageCanada 2022 edition! Congratulations to @veronicantran for her great talk today on the repertoire and reversibility of #T4P mutations that arise when #pseudomonas is challenged with #phages that use pili as receptors. We let Mother Nature show us what's possible!

Feeling so thankful to be a part of this amazing institute and university!! I finally met so many graduate students and UGs that started working with us during COVID. It’s great to have a sense of community again 🥳
Had a great time at @csm_scm2022 #csm_scm2022 @McMasterU @McMasterIIDR 🦠🔬 feeling so lucky to be a part of this group!

Had such a blast helping out with one of my favourite WISE events, today! I even got a protein biochemistry refresher from @structureSara 😅🔬
A fantastic morning here at GenSTEM 2022 featuring workshops with @structureSara and @ltsmcmaster ! More to come in the afternoon! 👩🏻🔬🥼🔬👨🏽🔬
