Every 6 seconds, someone dies from an antibiotic-resistant infection. Today, on day 242 of the year, over 3.2 million people have already been lost to #AMR. That's the equivalent of 85 plane crashes per day every day. Everybody should be talking about this.

The coffee lines are long and parking is a competitive sport again but nothing beats the vibe of campus when all the students return. Welcome back ⁦McMaster University⁩ crew.

Congratulations to McMaster Biochemistry & Biomedical Sciences faculty members Hendrik Poinar (aka Indiana Jones) and Miller Lab for their induction into the Royal Society of Canada!

Another McMaster Biochemistry & Biomedical Sciences superstar Jon Stokes talks to the The New Yorker about how AI is revolutionizing drug discovery.

It was a busy and exciting year in McMaster Biochemistry & Biomedical Sciences. Check out the action in the latest edition of our annual magazine #BiochemRocks! biochem.healthsci.mcmaster.ca/wp-content/upl…

🍔 HUGE turnout for the annual ⁦McMaster Biochemistry & Biomedical Sciences⁩ Welcome Back BBQ for students, faculty and staff! Great to see everyone and meet the new and returning students. Big excitement in the air!

Great field-side seats to watch the ⁦McMaster Marauders⁩ Marauders Football team under the lights beat Toronto 35-3.

It’s feeling decidedly like Autumn now.

As academics, we all stand on the shoulders of giants and few are taller than Gerry Wright who has led the antibiotic discovery and resistance field for the better part of 35 years. His research helped define the #AMR problem and will help solve the problem too. McMaster Biochemistry & Biomedical Sciences
