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.

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:
