A great opportunity at #SMP2024 to share with Senator @richardmcolbeck the work we’re doing to develop new vaccines in the human and animal health space @UofA_SET @gpnvaccines @RCID20 #research #commercialisation #vaccines

[Dr Erin Brazel @erin_brazel]

Well done and a very big congrats to these two - @Kate_Whyte3 🧬 and @rachelc_wy 🧫on their recent Major review presentations and Master���s candidature confirmations! 🥳🥳👏👏 @UofA_SET @RCID20 @GradSchoolUofA

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

[Bart Eijkelkamp @BEijkelkamp]

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. https://t.co/1CNrrD6csS

Great to showcase some of the amazing biological science displays put together by researchers and students at @UniofAdelaide #OpenDay @UofA_SET @environmentinst @UofAPalaeos

Great to be involved in this new research with amazing PhD student @CarlaG_sci on a potential new non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae vaccine!

[Dr Erin Brazel @erin_brazel]

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

[Research Centre for Infectious Diseases (RCID) @RCID20]

Big congratulations to @erin_brazel, @carlaG_sci and the team and @gpnvaccines for successfully acquiring funding for this industry collaborative project!

[Dr Erin Brazel @erin_brazel]

With clinical trials well underway at CMAX for @gpnvaccines’ new pneumococcal vaccine, we are very grateful for this support to help advance another vaccine into this pipeline to help combat ear and lung infections🧫💉

[Dr Erin Brazel @erin_brazel]

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?🤔

Please join us in welcoming Chloe Gates to the 2022/23 #REDI #IMNISClinical program.👏

Chloe’s PhD project at @UniofAdelaide is focused on developing vaccines against respiratory pathogens, particularly the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Welcome to #IMNISClinical Chloe!

[Dr Erin Brazel @erin_brazel]

Hey @UniofAdelaide @UofA_SET @bioemcra @SoBSPA students and ECRs - come along to the MLS 5.01 on Monday 3:30pm to hear a career talk by @LabListon!

[Research Centre for Infectious Diseases (RCID) @RCID20]

@sonjzzz @Wilson_LabUofA @UofA_SET @iPAS @UniofAdelaide Why did we not know about this ……..

[Dr Erin Brazel @erin_brazel]

If you’re attending @BacPath next week, stick around until the last day to hear @Hannah_sci’s talk on #pneumococcus 🧫 #meningitis 🧠 #bacteraemia🩸and #sugarmetabolism 🍽

[GPN Vaccines @gpnvaccines]

To celebrate #IWD22, we'd like to introduce our talented, hard working all female R&D Team! @RCID20 @UniofAdelaide

Excited for my 1st author PhD paper to be published! We show that #zinc disrupts cell wall synthesis and an #ionophore can restore #antibiotic treatment of #pneumonia in mice. #MakingAntibioticsGreatAgain @RCID20 @UniofAdelaide @McDevitt_Lab @DrMJMaher @StJude @UQ_SCMB @MarkvonI

[Research Centre for Infectious Diseases (RCID) @RCID20]

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!
