Mentors can’t achieve your goals for you, but they can:
-help you focus on what you want to do
-inspire you to believe in what you are capable of doing
-offer practical supports to equip you for success
And we can each do these things for someone else.

Can't wait for this new meeting on drug resistance and tolerance across species and diseases. A principle revealed in one system – maybe using different terminology – could be the big new idea when imported to another!
Abstract deadline in January!

Calling all Mycobacteriologists! Please support this meeting if you can it is sorely needed and it would be a terrible shame to lose it
Believe it or not, GRC has told me we need more registered applicants or this meeting might not survive! Please don't let that happen if you can afford to attend 🙏
If you're interested in learning about the latest of fundamental mycobacteriology, sign up for #GRCMyco2025! Acceptances will start in September, check out the full program and please RT!

A novel antibiotic class targeting the lipopolysaccharide transporter
A novel antibiotic class targeting the lipopolysaccharide transporter - Nature
A tethered macrocyclic peptide antibiotic class described here—which shows potent antibacterial activity against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii—blocks the transport of bacterial lipopolysaccharide from the inner membrane to its destination on the outer membrane through inhibition of the LptB2FGC complex.
