Hello 2025, friends and colleagues 👋
A New Year announcement 🎺 from our team is that we will transitioning our social media postings to another place (the blue one).
If you're interested to hear 👂 what we're up to, please follow our account @mcdevittlab.bsky.social

We're using laser ablation mass spectrometry to understand how trace metals are distributed by the immune system during infection.

This powerful analytical technique uses a laser beam to examine the elemental composition of solid samples.

🟦Going Blue for AMR!🟦

The McDevitt Lab went blue for AMR today to show our support for global action against antimicrobial resistance

#WAAW #AMR #GoBlueForAMR

Salma was 18 when she lost a childhood friend and close relative to AMR and pneumonia.

This motivated her to pursue a research career. Salma’s project is investigating resistance to zinc toxicity in S. pneumoniae.

It’s #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek

🔬Discovery research and the generation of new knowledge is essential in the fight against AMR.

This week we’ll be sharing insights from the team about why they’re involved in discovery research and what AMR means to them.
