Thrilled to announce a new @natcomms.nature.com paper led by Alastair Stewart and team @victorchang.edu.au with contributions from @mcdevittlab.bsky.social Using #cryoEM we discovered unique features of the #Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATP synthase including an unexpected role for #zinc in the complex 🦠🔬

🚀 Proud McDevitt Team #student achievements! 🌟 🎉 Salma smashed the #UniMelb #3MT 🏆 🎉 Abigail nailed the #Doherty Symposium Poster Award 🏅 🔥 These two are unstoppable! #PhDlife #Research #AcademicTwitter

The costs of #antimicrobial resistance 🦠 continue to rise 📈. The Center for Global Development reports that by 2050 #AMR could shrink the global economy by US$1.7T. Improving treatments and funding development of new antimicrobials 💊 could save millions of lives and billions in healthcare costs.

Congratulations 👏 to Matt Giles for representing @mcdevittlab.bsky.social and the Moraes group at the CanBIC-9 conference. A great presentation sharing his recent work on the #zinc uptake pathways in the #AMR bacterial pathogen 🦠 #Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Excited to announce a funded #PhD project with my amazing colleagues Jeff Harmer and Evelyne Deplazes (Uni of Queensland). This collaborative project uses #biochemistry 🧪, advanced spectroscopy, and computational approaches 🖥️ to study a #zinc export system in a priority pathogen 🦠. Find out more at:

Antimicrobial Resistance #AMR is a term most people have never heard of before yet it's a global health crisis Our charity, #theAMRnarrative has created a 90-second explainer video to help you grasp the basics youtu.be/S_0XQ5LhA6o?... #AntibioticResistance #AntimicrobialResistance #GlobalHealth

Congratulations to @camcdevitt.bsky.social @ellacasale.bsky.social and @blisscunningham.bsky.social for progressing in the CSIRO ON Innovation program to the ON Core stage. Great insights, advice and support on how to bring new #biomedical #AMR #technology to patients. wp.csiro.au/oncore/

Hello world 🌏 The @mcdevittlab.bsky.social team 🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 and I will be posting updates here and on LinkedIn going forward as we depart Twitter/X. We look forward to sharing our exciting 🧪🔬🦠🧫 work on #biometals, #infection, #bacteriology, #AMR, and #antibiotic development with this community.
