Doherty Institute end of year party. The theme is heroes vs villians... Saleh Alquethamy and I came as academic spam emails and reviewer #2 (villians of course!?)

Here’s our latest Coxiella story … a huge amount of work and perseverance by Patrice Newton and a great team of collaborators Doherty Institute, across the globe YaleMicroPath and across the road VicCentFuncGenomics pnas.org/content/early/…

AcinetoVibes2020, an international FREE conference on Acinetobacter is next week (May 7-8). More than 200 attendees already registered and 14 labs will present. You can still register at: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

How does cadmium intoxication affect the pneumococcus? Latest #metalsinbiology work by Stephanie Neville McDevitt Laboratory and colleagues Bart Eijkelkamp Paton, Roberts and Rosch reveal mismetallation of essential pathways and the coping strategies to survive. nature.com/articles/s4200…

Very excited to be participating in this initiative in the McDevitt Laboratory Doherty Institute University of Melbourne and with Trevor Moraes #UofT. If you're interested in a PhD studying #bacteria #microbiology #pathogens and #Zinc #metalsinbiology see below for details.

Professor McDevitt. Congratulations Christopher McDevitt!

It was an honour to co-author this fantastic review article in Chemical Reviews with an amazing bunch of researchers... Karl Hassan and Paulsen Lab

The first paper from my lab at Macquarie Molecular Sciences @Macquarie University is out in preprint!! In collaboration with EijkelkampLab Paulsen Lab Francesca Short Lars Barquist Cambridge Vet School we used #TraDIS to examine copper and zinc stress in #acinetobacter & uncovered regulator DksA bit.ly/3xFLrXz

It was great fun having Kate Lambe from #9news to talk superbugs Flinders University. Also love the bacterial membrane simulation from @megan_omara_ANU and Dr Hugo MacDermott-Opeskin. Check eijkelkamplab.com/latest-papers for more info.

40 scientists and physicians gathered together in Germany with the support of the Strungmann Forum to discuss the impact of trace metals on infection. The resulting discussions were compiled in a book that is now available on NCBI. Enjoy and share! ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK56968…

**ONLINE NOW!** Harris Bernstein and I are delighted that our paper using Cryo-EM and in vivo assays to understand outer membrane protein folding has found a home at Cell! Cell Here is a free access link to the article: authors.elsevier.com/c/1el7UL7PXinin 1/3 cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

The last publication out of my PhD is out! Please check out our latest work examining the structural/biochemical properties of A. baumannii Zn recruiting protein ZnuA. Many thanks to Christopher McDevitt Bostjan Kobe Evelyne Deplazes Mark_Davies_Lab and many others! authors.elsevier.com/c/1el3garcmTvg…

Congratulations to Saleh Alquethamy from the Christopher McDevitt lab on his latest paper coming out of his PhD. #phdlife The paper combines #biochem, #crystallography, #compchem MD simulations and #Bioinformatics to study the Zn-binding protein ZnuA in A. baumannii.

Congratulations to Dr Saleh Alquethamy on completing his Doctor of Philosophy requirements at UniMelb MDHS. A hugely talented #bacteriology #biochemistry scientist now working in the EijkelkampLab under the mentorship and leadership of the exceptional Bart Eijkelkamp 🦠🧫🎓🍾🥹

How does the pathogenic #bacteria Haemophilus influenzae scavenge the crucial #biometal #manganese? New work from McDevitt Laboratory Ulrike Kappler Kobe Lab Evelyne Deplazes reveals the role of HfeA and its ABC transporter in metal scavenging and virulence. doi.org/10.1021/acsinf…
