AIMI’s end of year event is underway, with many grants, awards, papers, and other outstanding achievements to celebrate 🎉🥂
Fantastic to have several of our very own involved in this #DP25 funded project to develop scientific animations for young people in #STEM Congratulations to all who will be involved!
Can't wait to get started on our @arc_gov_au funded #DP25 "Wonder" project @UTS_Science, Prof. Rachel Landers @UTSFass, Deb Cameron, Matthew Gidney, Matthew Dabner, Pat Grant, Anya Salih & @dramybottomley @AIMI_UTS. Creating scientific animations that inspire young people in STEM
Time for prizes! Speaker prizes go to Abiye Tigabu Molla and Andrey Verich Poster prizes go to Zein Maatouk, Ghayah Bahatheg, Jiawei Shen, Brodie Gillieatt, and Jonathan Koong Congratulations to all! 🎉
Samitha Bandaranayake (UNSW) on #AMR profiles in Salmonella Breyer-Lynne Woodland (UTS) talking about proteoform-centric technologies for understanding #AMR mechanisms Andrey Verich (The Kirby Institute, UNSW) on Machine learning for screening diagnostic targets for Neisseria
For the final session of the day we have five talks from HDR students. Starting off the session is Liam Tobin (AIMI, UTS) on #AMR in A. baumanii Abiye Tigabu Molla (UNSW) on profiling resistance and virulence factors in P. aeruginosa #microbiology

We had a fantastic poster session over lunch from students and ECRs #microbiology #AMR
The final two talks of the session come from Prof. Mark Wilcox (UNSW) talking about the development of antimicrobials for contact lenses A/Prof. Sophia Gu (UNSW) talking about the use of two-dimensional nanomaterials for delivery of drug-free medicines #AMR #microbiology
Starting session three on drug discovery and alternative approaches, Prof. Jon Iredell @Iredell_Lab of Westmead/USYD, talking about precision therapeutics for the treatment of #AMR #microbiology
Finishing off session 2 on mechanisms of resistance we have: A/Prof. Karl Hassan (Newcastle University) talking about antibiotic passage across gram-negative cell envelopes A/Prof Sally Partridge (Westmead/USYD) on resistance plasmids in Enterobacterales #microbiology #AMR
Up now, our second keynote speaker for today, Prof. Ruth Hall (USYD) - Antibiotic resistance - a new problem or old enemy? #AMR #microbiology
To wrap up the first session of the day... A/Prof. Thomas Gottlieb (Concord Hospital/USYD) on gram negative #AMR and its impact in Australian hospitals Dr. Ala Moha (CSIRO/Westmead) on One-Health and why its important for the future of #AMR #microbiology
Our first keynote speaker, Prof. Ian Paulsen @PaulsenLab talking about repurposing of 'normal' genes to confer multi-drug resistance #microbiology #AMR
Our very own @MehradHamidian kicking things off and a message from our Director @garrymyers to open the Symposium. #microbiology #AMR
We’re all set up and ready for an amazing day of #AMR talks at the #AIMI x @ASM_NSWACT Antimicrobial Resistance Symposium! #microbiology
Who's excited for tomorrow's Antimicrobial Resistance Symposium?! 🎉 #AIMI @ASM_NSWACT @UTS_Science @UTSEngage #AMR #microbiology
