MICROBIOLOGY, INFECTIOLOGY AND IMMUNOLOGY
CONFERENCE

Room N-833
2900 boul. Édouard Montpetit (Chemin de la tour), Montréal.
As part of our upcoming departmental seminar, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Sarah Bier, Postdoctoral Fellow in Yves Brun’s laboratory. The seminar will take place on Thursday, March 12, from 11:30 to 12:30, in room N833. The presentation will be delivered in English.
Dr. Bier’s research focuses on understanding how bacteria respond to antibiotic exposure and how these responses can be analyzed to uncover antibacterial mechanisms. During her doctoral training at Harvard Medical School, she studied how a novel environmental strain of Aeromonas dhakensis selectively eliminates Vibrio pathogens such as Vibrio cholerae. In the Brun laboratory, she is currently developing high-throughput approaches to identify and characterize new antibiotics targeting Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
