Erin Price UniSC: University of the Sunshine Coast ASM Great work from Erin Price & the team! Check out the prospective pilot study which is out in #preprint now: doi.org/10.1101/2023.1…

We’ve got a new short comm out as a preprint! 📌Resolving a neonatal intensive care unit outbreak of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to the SNV level using Oxford Oxford Nanopore simplex reads and HERRO error correction | bioRxiv #bioRxiv doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

EXCITED to announce the preprint of our work on a NEW Cell division protein (CdpA) in FtsZ-based division system in Haloarchaea. Thanks for the collaborative efforts of our amazing team.

Finally out in Nature Communication. We provided the first experimental evidence of parasitic lifestyle in Archaea, significantly advancing our understanding of ecological roles of Archaea in food web dynamics across globe, and re-evaluate their roles in Antarctic environment.

Less than one week to submit! ⏰️ Share your art on #cryoEM #cryoET and #MembraneProteins 🎨 and win a prize 💸

We're excited to announce the publication of our latest study on the identification of a novel tRNA modification, 2-aminovaleramididine (ava2C), and its molecular basis on decoding. Congratulations and thanks to our wonderful collaborators! rdcu.be/dUr0l

Excited to share our latest work. We developed a modified TraDIS appropriate for host cell infections where bacterial yields are limiting and applied it to a stage-resolved human bladder culture model of UTI Australian Institute for Microbiology & Infection journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11…

Just published in Access Microbiology Microbiology Society, this #OpenAccess article presents one of my #PhD projects 📌The complete genome sequence of five pre-2013 Escherichia coli sequence type (ST)1193 strains reveals insights into an emerging pathogen doi.org/10.1099/acmi.0…

I’m SO happy to share the preprint of the final chapter of my PhD This work started way back in 2018 so it feels very special and bit surreal to see it all together 🥹 It’s a super cool story about two CetZs coordinating their functions to control cell morphogenesis 1/3

We also have a second competition funded PhD Position available! This project focuses on the exploration of novel ligand and metal chemistry for the preparation of modular compound libraries. These will then be evaluated as potential antimicrobials. tinyurl.com/Metalloantibio…

If you have a spare 15 min, in honour of World AMR Awareness Week (#WAAW) here's a great documentary on how antibiotic misuse in food production is helping to drive antimicrobial resistance (with a few quotes in my messy office).

Latest preprint from the lab: we asked whether native RNA sequencing might be a successor to traditional cDNA sequencing for biomarker discovery in blood.
