I'd like to share this remembrance of Pierre Cornelius from his students & colleagues. He made important contributions to understanding iron acquisition/ metabolism by P. aeruginosa & served as Belgian Ambassador to ASM.

@DavidBarondeau @deheinrichs @SchulichMedDent Just announced at #BioMetals2018.... *drumroll* 🥁🥁🥁

#BioMetals2020 will be in the Alps in Grenoble, France 🏔️🇫🇷 with the support of the Institute of Metals in Biology of Grenoble. It'll be hosted in July. "Beautiful nature and beautiful science"

[Alain Stintzi @AlainStintzi]

Our chair for this afternoon session on #Siderophores is @deheinrichs from @SchulichMedDent. Lots of interesting synthetic biology to look forward to for the next two hours at #BioMetals2018

[Alain Stintzi @AlainStintzi]

More on #macrophages at #BioMetals2018! @deheinrichs of @SchulichMedDent presents: "Staphylococcus aureus: adaption to life in the phagolysosome." A look at how S aureus replicates inside phagosomes and acquire nutrients. #copper & #zinc repletion, #iron & #magnesium depletion.

[Alain Stintzi @AlainStintzi]

We begin our final session with a talk by @ReadingBioSci's Dr. Simon Andrews, with a discussion on how the bacterial pathogen Brucella uses #iron export to enhance survival against superoxides during phagocytosis. #BioMetals2018

[Alain Stintzi @AlainStintzi]

Chairing our final #BioMetals2018 session is Dr. Pierre Cornelis (Laboratoire de microbiologie signaux et microenvironnement - https://t.co/3WWRXZfZwo). The topic: metals at the host-microbe interface.
