Forecasting the Fallout from AMR: Economic Impacts of Antimicrobial Resistance in Humans Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health crisis that threatens to undo decades of progress in medicine. This tool allows you to explore the potential impact of different interventions...

The costs of #antimicrobial resistance 🦠 continue to rise πŸ“ˆ. 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 πŸ’Š could save millions of lives and billions in healthcare costs.

Harnessing structural insights into bacterial zinc efflux for new human therapeutics

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