So many new options for #AMR - what are Australians focussing on? @bramor @audreyrollin1
🚨Save the Date🚨 We are delighted to announce that we are partnering with @FINDdx and @CARB_X for a virtual event on 3 March 2022 at 14:00 GMT - focusing on developing and increasing access to innovative #diagnostics in and for #lmics. More info to follow!

*NEWS* -- @CARB_X is funding #Australia biotech @SpeeDx 🇦🇺 to develop a rapid portable easy-to-use diagnostic for #superbug #gonorrhea and chlamydia. ☞ carb-x.org/SpeeDx ☞ @QuantuMDx @plexpcr #LMICs #superbugs #AMR @BARDA @PHEgov @Wellcome_AMR @BMBF_BUND @BU_tweets
High accuracy long reads + Hi-C data are clearly the future for metagenomics. So much to be learned about phage & plasmid dynamics in particular, and the evolution of antimicrobial resistance. Congrats to all involved in this work

Congratulations to Professor Ian Paulsen from our member org @AUSSOCMIC for being elected as a Fellow of @Science_Academy #FellowsAA
Replying to @Science_Academy
"Antibiotic resistant superbugs are one of the biggest threats to global health." With the view of developing new strategies to defeat them, Prof Ian Paulsen FAA @PaulsenLab studies how these 'superbugs' come by their drug resistance. #FellowsAA @Macquarie_Uni @MQMolSci
