Around the world five newborn babies die each second from life-threatening infections. Unfortunately there is no fast or easy way to tell which microbes are involved. Join #SFU #MolecularBiology and #Biochemistry assistant professor Amy Lee on Zoom for a talk about how we can use #genomics and #machinelearning approaches to tackle the challenge of #neonatalsepsis. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/sfu-cafe-scientifique-why-do-babies-get-sick-a-systems-biology-approach-tickets-763514932717?_gl=1%2A15muxwb%2A_ga%2AMjAwNDc0OTg3NC4xNjg2NjEzNDIy%2A_ga_R4BCVYL1QF%2AMTcwNTQ0Mzk4OC41MDIuMS4xNzA1NDQ2NDAyLjMwLjAuMA.. #sfumbb #SFUScience

Watermelon Snow Is Threatening Glaciers in the US

A strange pink algae that grows on snow and ice is melting glaciers, making them more prone to soak up the heat from the sun.

How does life sense and respond to carbon dioxide gas? Join #SFU Molecular #Biology and #Biochemistry prof Dustin King on a journey from the depths of the ocean floor to the air we breathe, to understand the implications of increasing #CO2 levels in nature and in daily human life. King brings #Indigenous ways of knowing to critical questions about humanity’s impact upon the natural world. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/sfu-cafe-scientifique-november-2023-tickets-679743590377?aff=ebdsoporgprofile

Antibiotics work by killing bacteria that cause infections, but the bacteria that survive can become stronger and more resistant to treatment.

What if we could prevent bacteria from making us sick without killing them? SFU researchers are using #datascience to explore this approach: https://research2reality.com/health-medicine/antivirulence-solution-antibiotic-resistance-disease-spread-healthcare-medicine/ #SFUScience #SFUMBB #antivirulence #antimicrobialresistance #sfu

What Doesn't Kill Bacteria Won't Make Them Stronger - Research2Reality

To avert a global health catastrophe due to antibiotic resistance, researchers are exploring ways to neutralize virulent bacteria without killing them.

As bacteria develops resistance to common antibiotics, superbugs are a growing public health problem. Researchers at #SFUMBB are using #DataScience to identify new ways to treat drug-resistant infections. https://globalnews.ca/news/9608202/sfu-research-team-studies-superbug-genes/
SFU research team studies superbug genes to help fight global health threat

Superbugs are micro-organisms that have evolved to resist common antibiotics and are considered a global health threat by the World Health Organization.
