We’re proud to showcase the work of Brandon Findlay, Associate Professor in #Chemistry & #Biochemistry at @concordia.ca whose lab is tackling one of today’s most pressing #GlobalHealth challenges: #AntimicrobialResistance. #HealthResearch #AntibioticResistance www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGxV...

The Findlay lab turned 10 years old today! What an incredible journey it's been.

Pretty cool tool to visualize the cost of #AMR

New paper from the lab! Evolving bacteria in the lab is a great way to understand #AMR. But, does it matter what evolution platform you use? Yes. @farhanrc.bsky.social showed different platforms select different evolutionary paths. Read more at IJAA: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #microsky

🚨NEW PREPRINT ALERT: In this paper, Jacob and Suzana from the Auclair lab investigate how Salmonella Typhimurium adapts to growing on itaconate, with detailed metabolic and genomic studies. Many thanks to our collaborators at McGill and Concordia! (Details below) #chemsky doi.org/10.1101/2025...

The latest work from my lab is out in @molbioevol.bsky.social! @farhanrc.bsky.social evolved bacteria right into evolutionary traps, reverting antibiotic-resistant strains back into sensitive ones. #microsky academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-...

Toxin-antitoxin systems are weird, but seem pretty effective. So where are the plasmids with 20+ toxin/antitoxin pairs? The logic that makes one pair adaptive should be true for 2 pairs, 3 pairs, n+1 pairs... #microsky

This seems like a fitting first post. My lab has just published a paper on the evolution of resistance to Octyl-tridecaptin A1! This antibiotic is tough to evolve resistance against. To crack it we had to optimize SAGE, our lab evolution system. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #AMR #microsky
