Recently, I hosted IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️ staff at a UWA lab, part of the IAEA’s network of analytical labs. It provides a vital service to global security by testing environmental samples from safeguard inspections to verify State's compliance with nuclear non-pro commitments.

The interaction between TB bacteria and antibiotics inside our cells has been revealed using a new correlative microcopy method at our @CMCA_UWA facility, revealing how different intracellular micro-environments affect the action of the drugs micro.org.au/big-impact/cor… #NCRISimpact
