Event Description
- Full Description:
- Staff, students and members of the public are invited to hear Professor Trevor Lithgow, ARC Australian Laureate Fellow at Monash University, discuss how bacteria build their outer surfaces.
This seminar will explore mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, and new strategies to push back against this health-related problem of bacterial evolution. Professor Lithgow’s projects focus on outer membrane remodelling during antimicrobial tolerance and resistance, the structure and function of molecular machinery assembled into bacterial membranes, and the homing mechanisms and structure of bacteriophage weapons that prey on bacterial ‘superbugs'.
The seminar will take place on Monday 9 October from 2.30pm in room 360 of the Physiology Lecture Theatre, building 63, UQ St Lucia. All are welcome to attend.
