Excited to share our work in PNASNews . We report the cryoEM structures of both TRIF and TRAM uncovering the molecular basis of TRIF-mediated TLR3 and TLR4 signalling pathways. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Thank you, Prof. Begona Heras , for hosting A/Prof. Shu-Sin Chng, from NUS for an insightful talk on bacterial lipid trafficking & outer membrane homeostasis! Great to see fascinating work on bacterial cell envelope dynamics! #AMR #InfectionBiology La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science La Trobe University

Big thanks to A/Prof. Shu Sin Chng Shu-Sin Chng from NUS for a fabulous talk at La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science on bacterial cell envelope biogenesis and lipid trafficking—essential for maintaining the outer membrane lipid asymmetry and critical for bacterial survival.

To end this conference with a bang, we have Professor Leo Eberl from the University of Zurich, telling us all about uncovering and characterising the good and bad guys within the Burkholderia sensu lato. Sensu-tional! #Lorneiandi

2/3 🦠🔬Begona Heras Prof Begona Heras, Prof Mark Schembri , Dr Jason Paxman, Dr Patrick Harris, Prof Mick Foley, & Ms Julie Phillips J Phillips have been awarded an AEA Ignite Grant for their research on biofilm inhibitors to combat antimicrobial resistance. A huge step toward

1/2 🚀 Congrats to LIMS’s Prof Begoña Heras, E/Prof Mick Foley & Dr Jason Paxman; Dr Tze Cin Owong & Prof Yuning Hong; Ms Sarah Bamford & Prof Paul Pigram, who were granted commercialisation funding across three projects in the Australia’s Economic Accelerator (AEA) Ignite Grants

2/3 🔬 The three funded projects seek to develop: an AI platform to understand complex materials systems and environments; biofilm inhibitors to combat antimicrobial resistance; and a new diagnostic and monitoring platform for Parkinson’s. #sciencetwitter #LIMSLTU #Science

3/3 ⚕️ Each successful project was recognised as an important investment in the national priority area of Medical Science, and as research which could capitalise on opportunities in areas of Australian economic advantage. Amazing recognition for our researchers’ important work!

Celebrating International Women's Day at the Spanish Club. Special thanks to #Ivan Martinez-Botella & SRAP-IEAP for the opportunity to present my work alongside incredible women Katherine Locock ana maria ducasse Ana Gamarra Rondinel & to connect with a very engaged audience La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science La Trobe University

A great seminar by Prof. Ana Traven Traven Lab from Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences on how nutrient-dependent regulation influences host-pathogen interactions during infection.
