Good Morning :) Biracial South Asian here looking for any amazing wom*n of colour/People of Colour (WoC/PoC) from a STEM background to follow 💁🏽♀️ Hit me up.
#PoCToTheFront #WoCSTEM #WoC #STEM #PoCSolidarity
Had the pleasure of presenting my PostDoc work from my time back at @Sydney_Uni in @AnneMaiPro Plasma-Biofilm lab for the ARC Training Centre for Biofilm Research & Innovation @Flinders ⚡️💧🧫👩🏽🔬
Thanks for inviting me & letting me yap about plasma-activated water for AMR bugs!

Towards improved biofilm models
rdcu.be/dQf4Z
In this Perspective, Rumbaugh and Whiteley explore the advantages and limitations of current medical biofilm models and outline a framework for quantitatively assessing model accuracy. @KendraRumbaugh @whiteleylab
New Post-Doc Role Unlocked 🔓🚨
✨ Excited to announce that I have commenced the next part of my Cold Plasma-Microbiology/Biofilm journey at @UniofAdelaide in the lab of @DrKatiRichter 🧫⚡️💧💜👩🏽🔬
#EDI Panelled with the best - Prof Dena Lyras, @RochelleSoo1, & @sam_manna3!
V. interesting & open discussions on pertinent/interrelated topics: childcare, LGBTQIA+, neurodiversity, & PoC/WoC experiences in navigating Micro/STEMM & beyond!

Attending #ASM2024?
Check out my poster (#109) tonight!
I’ll run you thru the stress responses that are evoked in E. coli biofilms during treatment with ✨Plasma-Activated Water✨ a fancy new technology capable of eradicating pesky microbes! ⚡️💧🧫
#ASM2024_XAward @AUSSOCMIC
At #Eurobiofilms2024 & want to hear about plasma…?!
…Not blood plasma…
The spicy antimicrobial water type for revamping topical antiseptics to treat biofilm-infected chronic wounds 😎⚡️💧🧫
Come check out my poster today after lunch :)
@esgb_escmid @ESCMID
Excellent #Eurobiofilms2024 talk from my student @blanchepugie on the importance of superoxide, a potent reactive oxygen species in plasma-activated water.
‼️ Highly effective at eradicating E. coli biofilms! ⚡️💧🧫👏🏽
@esgb_escmid @ESCMID
…Read more about it 😏📄
Super proud of @Arthiii_M for her fantastic talk on the immunogenicity of the biofilm matrix in P. aer biofilms in the context of the urinary tract environment 🥹😌
Represented @Sydney_Uni /Australia really well at #EuroBiofilms2024 👏🏽
Slay 💅🏽
@esgb_escmid @ESCMID
Nice to see some exploration of bacterial adhesion in the context of host GAGs & how this modulates biofilm formation ☺️
Reminds me of my S. pyogenes biofilm-pharyngeal cell glycan PhD days!
Enjoyed this talk by Dr Leanne Cleaver :)
#EuroBiofilms2024 @esgb_escmid @ESCMID
Fauve Vergauwe uses machine learning & differing analytical tools to predict the antibiotic susceptibility of experimentally evolved Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms!
V. cool, V. thorough 🤩
#EuroBiofilms2024 @esgb_escmid @ESCMID
Dr Greta Zaborskyte’s talk on Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilm & its evolutionary trajectories was super interesting!
Particularly grossed out by the slide showing the thick strings of biofilm on the pegs of her model 🤢🥴
#EuroBiofilms2024
@esgb_escmid @ESCMID
First day of #EuroBiofilms2024 - let’s go!
Great welcome address from Prof Claus Moser followed by an engaging & informative opening keynote by Prof Per Halkjær Nielsen (@PerHNielsen) 🧫
Keen for the next few days, it’s going to be a fab conference 🤩😌
