Thank you to the #Microbiology in #Meanjin organisers for this opportunity to show our collaborative #research from UniSC. So handy to Zoom in from windy #Wellington in Aotearoa New Zealand

📌One clone to rule them all: Culture-independent genomics of Chlamydia psittaci from equine and avian hosts in Australia

Interested? Our work was published in this month's #OpenAccess issue of #MicrobialGenomics 🎉

#SciComm #MicrobiologySociety #MiM2022

Now we have Master's of medical research student Isabelle Watson from the Institute for Glycomics at Griffith University who is talking about the role of Transducer Like Protein 10 in bacterial sensory perception #WomenInSTEM #MiM2022

Speaking next at #MiM2022 is #phdstudent Vasilli Kasimov (or 'that bird guy') from the Center of Bioinnovation at the University of the Sunshine Coase, who will be showing us his #research into pathogens of biosecurity significance detected in wild Australian kingfishers, parrots, pigeons, & raptors 🕊️🦜🦅

Up first at #MiM2022 is our Simmons Trust invited speaker Sam Abraham from the Harry Butler Institute based at Murdoch University, who will be walking us through his #research into high throughput robotics & #genomics for the management & control of #AntimicrobialResistance & endemic diseases in animals

A/Prof Pat Blackwall introduces the Simmons Trust at #MiM2022. Briefly, the #microbiologist Geoffrey Simmons was a convenor for the initial Australian Society for Microbiology committee in Queensland, #Australia. His #research of the V4 virus that caused Newcastle disease in poultry is the basis of all #vaccines 💉

First, a shout-out to our sponsors who help #MiM2022 to succeed - the Geoff Simmons Trust, the Institute for Glycomics at Griffith University, & the Centre for Bioinnovation at the University of the Sunshine Coast 👏

The annual Microbiology in #Meanjin meeting for the Australian Society for Microbiology (QLD branch) is here‼️ See you soon & keep an eye on #MiM2022 to follow the #science 👀 We have speakers with fascinating science & excellent #research across a diverse #microbiology community at universities & other institutes #SciComm
