πŸ“„πŸŽ‰ Back-to-back baby! πŸŽ‰πŸ“„ Delighted to see our 2️⃣ latest works on @A_baumannii #lipidbiology published in @mBiojournal Fantastic efforts by everyone involved ‼️ Definitely is the icing on the cake 🧁 for my official last day before I go on maternity leave πŸ₯³πŸ₯³
2 papers from the lab in @mbiojournal todayπŸŽ‰ In a huge collaborative effort, we reveal how @A_baumannii steals host fatty acids during infection doi.org/10.1128/mBio.00928-2… and that some host fatty acids affect the structure&function of the efflux pump AdeB doi.org/10.1128/mBio.01070-2…

Absolutely thrilled to announce that we will be setting up The Lipid Network. This initiative has been made possible through a successful Amplify Activity Award from @Science_Academy and sponsorship by @Flinders. We will launch the website in the second half of 2024!

What a great way to end the week for the @WestmeadInst @Iredell_Lab team - the first oral #phages shipped to the first rural hospital under #STAMP! Excited to see how the phages travel and the outcomes they may have on #AMR infections. @stephh_lynch @JessicaSacher #RuralHealth

Really proud of @maoge_zang who spearheaded this project - from initial conceptualisation to publication! Well done Lawrence and team @EijkelkampLab 🀩
Really stoked to tick off another PhD project at @TheCellSurface characterising @A_baumannii's multifunctional phosphatidylglycerol phosphatases sciencedirect.com/science/ar… Huge thanks to @alice_ascari @AdamsFelise @SalehAlquethamy @BEijkelkamp for making this possible!

Yesterday marked the end of an era! Last day in the @EijkelkampLab πŸ₯² Over the past 4 years, I finished my PhD, survived a pandemic, had a baby, published 10 papers & had so much fun along the way! I leave feeling proud & excited for the next chapter, what ever that may be! ✨

Excited for my 1st author PhD paper to be published! We show that #zinc disrupts cell wall synthesis and an #ionophore can restore #antibiotic treatment of #pneumonia in mice. #MakingAntibioticsGreatAgain @RCID20 @UniofAdelaide @McDevitt_Lab @DrMJMaher @StJude @UQ_SCMB @MarkvonI
