Our work on rapid detection of antibiotic resistant and susceptible cells using ribosome phenotypes is out today! We used fluorescent imaging and changes in bacterial structure to classify single cells with high accuracy. Achillefs Kapanidis Oxford Martin School doi.org/10.1038/s42003…

I’m happy to share that we will be able to provide full registration reimbursement for ~16 GRS participants, as well as partial travel support for ~8 more! We will also provide partial reimbursement for ~15 early career GRC participants selected to give talks! Register today!

This grant from LifeArc gives us the opportunity to develop our new efflux resistant antibiotics for treating infections associated with Cystic Fibrosis. It’s a joint project between King's College London and AD3, UKHSA.
