Explorations in drug discovery have led us to realize that gold mine tailings are actually a rich source of filamentous fungi that produce bioactive compounds. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #Drugdiscovery, #Naturalproducts,

2019 was a long year and for our #yearendfunction we went to Clay Cafe and got creative... Come see the painted pottery pieces in #Lab444🤣...Funny how everyone had yellow and purple paint in their artwork😂😂

#Cannabis has long been used as medicine for centuries, well sometimes, illegally. Ricquelle here will investigate the plant's potential as an anti-TB drug candidate using some novel experiments. We promised Division of Molecular Biology and Human Genetics and SU, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences not to vaporize the plants 😀🚭

"Every antibiotic that is introduced into clinical use has a limited shelf life as it selects for bacteria that have some intrinsic or acquired mechanism of resistance" (Walsh, 2003). Emergence of TB resistance is inevitable, new classes of TB drugs should be discovered.

Improving treatment of the TB pandemic 🫁 that's ravaging our communities is our goal. Using compounds from #marinefungi in recent study, we used a combination of #metabolomics and #moleculardocking to predict potent #antiTB drugs💊💉of the future. Link: doi.org/10.1016/j.heli…

The Oceans - Our future pharmacies Recognizing the value of community engagement, the VuyoLab met with the Kleinbaai community at Marine Dynamics' Marine Evening (06/09/22) to discuss the continued importance of preserving oceans. Read more >> dict.org.za/blog/the-ocean…

🦠🔍 During one of our experiments, we stumbled upon this charming bacterial colony that couldn't resist showing off its best smiley face! Sometimes, even the simplest experiments can lead to the coolest results. So, stay curious, and keep exploring! 😊🧪#MicrobialArtistry

It's amazing to think about all the fascinating sea life 💭, particularly bacteria, and how they may contribute towards developing solutions for public health challenges. #drugdiscovery #drugdevelopment #marinebiology #marinescience #naturalproducts #endTB
