My mentor Uli Klümper at #EDAR6 talking about how natural microbial diversity our natural barrier to the spread of antibiotic resistant gene. As always, a good story telling about interesting research work.

Very proud of my PhD student Kenyum Bagra for her first paper being out in STOTEN Environmental stress increases the invasion success of antimicrobial resistant bacteria in river microbial communities doi.org/10.1016/j.scit… ANTIVERSA DAAD News

Missed some of the best AMR research during the summer break? Search no more... The new @EMBARK_JPIAMR AMR digest for the summer of 2023 just went online: antimicrobialresistance.eu/2023/09/11/amr… prepared by Faina Tskhay and me.

I should have done this sooner. My first paper ever is now available online!!! Thank you Uli Klümper for being my mentor and DAAD News For the scholarship that made it possible :) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Pre-print of our 2nd paper is online now! With some interesting insights about the effect of temperature on dissemination of antimicrobial resistance in river biofilms.

Happy to present my PhD student Kenyum Bagra's new paper: Contrary effects of increasing temperatures on the spread of #AMR in river biofilms In mSphere's special series: Impacts of Climate Change on Infectious Diseases journals.asm.org/eprint/XDFUPYK…

Brief news article about our recent paper with Kenyum Bagra: Warmer water may help rivers keep #AMR at bay eurekalert.org/news-releases/… Find the corresponding paper here: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

River biofilms are the first line of defense against #AMR entering the environment through wastewater. New research in #mSphere by @kenyum_b, @ulikluemper, et al. demonstrates how climate change affects this important ecosystem service. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

Something I got a taste of recently. Couldn't attend and present my work in a conference (EDAR) in Canada. I applied for a Visa three months ago, and still haven't heard from the embassy. The worst part is, they don't give the visa fee back.

Thank you Thomas Berendonk for presenting on my behalf. I couldn't make it but, the important part was to let people know what we do and what we found out doing what we do. And thank you Uli Klümper for making it happen at any cost. #EDAR7

Had a great time presenting our work on the effects of cigarette smoke and filters on AMR at the #EDAR7 conference. Special thanks to my PhD students Peiju Fang and Diala Konyali for their amazing work on this topic. Read more: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very proud of Kenyum Bagra for handing in her PhD thesis “Unravelling the drivers of antibiotic resistance in urban rivers” last night. Kenyum joined us on a 1.5 year DAAD News exchange fellowship from IIT Roorkee and used that time to the fullest.

Happy to have given my talk based on the corresponding paper by my PhD student Kenyum Bagra at #DGL24_Dresden

Sunita Narain, Director General, CSEINDIA makes a powerful intervention, laying out 4 key agendas for #AMR containment- #conservation, #development, #environment & most importantly #prevention agenda, speaking at panel 2 of high level meeting on #AntimicrobialResistance @ #UNGA79

🚨 SPECIAL SESSION SEARCHER WEBINAR 🚨 We are back with more seminars this fall. We invite you to the following session next week 🗓️ Oct 15, 2024 ⏰ 10:30 AM CEST (GMT +1) We will present the JPIAMR-EMBARK Final Results Register 👉 mdc-berlin.zoom-x.de/meeting/regist… Agenda 👀👇

Academia is held together by caffeine, free labour, and the two people who nod encouragingly during presentations

Enjoyed giving my presentation today on “Trade-offs of increasing temperatures for the spread of #AMR in river biofilms” at #OHS2024 @OHP_ger Read more on this led by my PhD student Kenyum Bagra in STOTEN (doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…) and mSphere (doi.org/10.1128/mspher…)

Proud to share my PhD student Faina Tskhay's first bioRxiv Fish are poor sentinels for surveillance of riverine AMR Important work towards reliable environmental #AMR monitoring With C Köbsch, A Elena, Johan BengtssonPalme, T Berendonk, SEARCHER biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very happy with how it turned out. This might get us one step closer to changing how we approach the problems regarding the spread of AMR in different countries.
