Exciting work recently published on Shigella and host lipids - led by @UofA_SET PhD student @alice_ascari! @BEijkelkamp @RenatoMoronaUoA @Wilson_LabUofA @sonjzzz

Our exciting new work shows that S. flexneri redecorates its cell surface when transitioning to an intracellular lifestyle. The pathogen has an appetite for host lipids to supplement its energy needs, thereby depleting host lipid droplets. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

Ear infections are an underrecognised issue. We are excited to be working on a potential new inactivated vaccine with @gpnvaccines to help combat ear infections caused by non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae. Big thanks to @9NewsAdel @KomarekMichaela

There's new hope for millions of Australian children who suffer from painful ear infections.
Researchers at the University of Adelaide are on the cusp of a breakthrough, with work underway on a vaccine that could provide a permanent solution. @KomarekMichaela #9News

Great to hear from @AllanSaul7 at today’s @UofA_SET Dep. of MBS seminar on lessons learnt in vaccine development! Big thanks to @gpnvaccines and Tim Hirst for sponsoring/chairing this session. Question of the day - is it better to be first to market? Or not first but better?🤔

Researchers including @erin_brazel from the @RCID20 @UniofAdelaide have shown how we can restore the use of #antibiotics in the fight against antibiotic resistant #pneumonia. A great example of how fundamental research can lead to transformative discoveries for human health!
