And we wrap-up a week full of exchanges, multidisciplinary and constructive discussions, workshops, clinics and a lot of fun! Thank you to @AngryAstroPanda for the fantastic presentation! @msc_smc

AlphaFold 3 is out! As expected expands coverage to small molecules and nucleic acids. And replaces the structure module with a diffusion-based one. Unfortunately no code or model weights--just a web server for a limited set of ligands: https://t.co/I3OLpMU2wQ

AlphaFold2 and RoseTTAFold are limited to predicting the 3D structure of proteins. A new all-atom method models complete biomolecular assemblies, including proteins, nucleic acids, small molecules, metals, and covalent modifications. #NBThighlight https://t.co/a9relIlKLC

Excited to share that this project that I have been apart of is now PUBLISHED!

Thank you to Dr. Xu Dong Zhu, one of my supervisory committee members for allowing me to join in on this awesome project!

Thanks to Romy Olsha and his colleagues for giving the 2023-24 Braley Fellows an epic tour of the Ontario Public Health Lab - amazing place and an interesting look behind the scenes! ⁦@McMasterIIDR⁩ ⁦@BBS_McMasterU⁩

[Lori L. Burrows @Dr_Lori_Burrows]

A big thank you to ⁦@DrGregGerman⁩ for visiting ⁦⁦@McMasterIIDR⁩ yesterday to speak to our Braley Fellows about his success with #phage therapy in a patient with chronic drug-resistant #UTI and the steps being taken to make this treatment more widely available! 🇨🇦

[Lori L. Burrows @Dr_Lori_Burrows]

The Braley Fellows Program @McMasterU allows senior PhD students working on #AMR to learn clinical, industry & policy aspects of #antibiotic development. A BIG thank you to Dr. Erin Duffy, Chief of R&D @CARB_X for telling us today about their crucial role in the pipeline!! #WAAW

[Brian Coombes, PhD @BrianKCoombes]

📢 ⁦@MacBiochemGrad⁩ students! Make sure you come get refueled at the coffee house next week.

[Monica Warner @monicamwarner]

@Millerlab_atMac @CalmMcmaster Thank you!!😁

[Monica Warner @monicamwarner]

Thanks @CalmMcmaster and everyone that voted! I love using #AFM to take pretty images of proteins and DNA😍

[McMaster Centre for Advanced Light Microscopy @CalmMcmaster]

The 2nd place prize of our C2Discover Microscopy Competition goes to Monica Warner (@monicamwarner, @structureSara Andres Lab) with a stunning atomic force microscopy image of DNA repair protein bound to ends of poly(ADP-ribose) chains.

[McMaster Centre for Advanced Light Microscopy @CalmMcmaster]

The image was captured with a Bruker Dimension Icon AFM. The lighter colours indicate increases in height on the sample surface, showing that the poly(ADP)-ribose chains form large rosette structures, with DNA repair protein indicated by larger globular peaks at the ends.

[Monica Warner @monicamwarner]

Look at these beautiful images!🤩🤩go vote for your favourite! Especially if it's an AFM image containing DNA😉

[McMaster Centre for Advanced Light Microscopy @CalmMcmaster]

C2Discover Public vote is now open! This will account for 50% of the final rating. Go admire your colleagues' works of art and vote for the ones you like the most! https://t.co/rtFTSIsvLN VOTE, VOTE, VOTE...

Did you know that #vancomycin can kill #Pseudomonas? Read all about it in our newest paper from @DerekCKChan1 with his fearless undergrads Mahrukh and Katherine, fellow PhD candidate Ikram, and lab manager Hanjeong. @McMasterIIDR @BBS_McMasterU 1/6 🧵 https://t.co/EUKViZ6Txo

[Dana Sowa @danajsowa]

Happening tomorrow @ 1 PM!!! Register online and join us to see some of what’s out there post grad!

[McMaster Centre for Advanced Light Microscopy @CalmMcmaster]

Good news! We have extended the deadline for our C2 Discover Microscopy Competition to May 26th! Multiple optical or atomic force microscopy images can be submitted and the competition is open to all researchers at McMaster University. More details https://t.co/Q4y6makj64

[Shawn McGuirk @ShawnMcGuirk]

For anyone who cares about the future of research in Canada, this paper is well worth the read.

Kudos to the team @OttawaSciPolNet for this excellent work 👏👏👏
