Scientists from around the world use our synchrotron for ground-breaking research in health, agriculture, environment, and advanced materials.
Life just got more difficult for those fighting antibiotic-resistant #superbugs - a Top 10 global public health issue. Researchers at @mcgill.ca @healthsciences.mcgill.ca have discovered enzymes that use a never-before-seen mechanism to confer resistance. https://bit.ly/48ZVXhv
