The Sychantha Lab is officially open! @UWaterloo @WaterlooChem Seeking curious minds tickled by how pathogenic bacteria tweak their surfaces to resist antibiotics and immunity, through structural biology, enzymology, & chemical biology 🧪
Please follow @CSM_SCM2024 and visit our conference Web Site to view our exciting speaker lineup site.pheedloop.com/event/CSM2024/… and register to attend our conference @WesternU @WesternUMNI @SchulichMedDent @CSM_SCM. Please repost.
My better half's second biggest accomplishment of the past six months 👶🍼 nature.com/articles/s4156…
Please check out our latest paper on the type VIIb secretion system where we elucidate the structure and function of the LXG domain! This was work started at the end of my PhD but was bravely picked up and finished by @s_prakhar0 and the Whitney lab crew. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
After two decades of exploration, Dr. Peter Greenberg identified a bacteria linked to cystic fibrosis—a disease that touched his life profoundly. In his own words, "Curiosity-driven research can lead to important stuff." Full #GairdnerAwards speech👇gairdner.org/resource-hub/2…
On the importance of basic science: small Halifax lab tasked with doing translational research goes rogue and does fundamental research instead. Cited ~65,000 times and still used around the world. Last paragraph says it all.
Many thanks to the @DuerkopLab for bringing us into the world of phage biology. First of many collaborative projects to come!

Today we report in @CellCellPress the first genetic tool in Patescibacteria (also known as candidate phyla radiation (CPR)), a diverse and mysterious group of bacteria. cell.com/cell/fulltext/… (1/2)
Excited to share our latest work! A feedback control mechanism governs the synthesis of lipid-linked precursors of the bacterial cell wall biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Special thanks to our collaborators @clemonslab and @pstansfeld for helping us bring this story together!
I'm very excited to present the latest type VII secretion system research from the @JohnWhitneyIIDR which is out now at @biorxiv_micrbio. In this work, we look deeper into how toxins are recognized and secreted by this Gram +ve secretion system. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@GLim2016 @CIHR_IRSC @NSERC_CRSNG @SSHRC_CRSH @JustinTrudeau @FP_Champagne @cafreeland At the same time, we can’t emphasize enough how much progress has been made recently thanks to AI.
@GLim2016 @CIHR_IRSC @NSERC_CRSNG @SSHRC_CRSH @JustinTrudeau @FP_Champagne @cafreeland Just as an observer I would say that anything with AI in it has already had a competitive advantage in regular funding over the past few years. And sometimes just regular data science rebranded as AI. We should fund ideas and potential for results, whatever the methods are.
With the recent pre-budget announcements, I pray that this DOES NOT mean that funding for basic/fundamental research will be cut to support them. Support to the Tri-Councils must be increased. @CIHR_IRSC @NSERC_CRSNG @SSHRC_CRSH @JustinTrudeau , @FP_Champagne , @cafreeland
