M-I Seminar - Fighting Antibiotic Resistance and Climate Change with Bacterial Genetics!
Chicago - 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Title:
Fighting Antibiotic Resistance and Climate Change with Bacterial Genetics!
Speaker:
Jason Peters, PhD, Assistant Professor, School of Pharmacy, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Topic:
The World Health Organization has identified Air pollution/climate change and antimicrobial resistance as the first and fifth on the list of top threats to global health, respectively. In the Peters lab, we are using the power of bacterial genetics to address both of these critical issues. Our CRISPR-based functional genomics approaches will allow us to define the roles of gene networks in the process of using microbes to convert plant material into valuable biofuels and bioproducts as well as in antibiotic targeting and resistance. We are currently developing innovative CRISPR tools for exploration of gene function in bioenergy-relevant alpha-Proteobacteria (e.g., Zymomonas mobilis) and antibiotic resistant ESKAPE pathogens (e.g., Acinetobacter baumannii).

Course Design Institute
Evanston -
Grounded in Northwestern’s Principles for Inclusive Teaching, the Course Design Institute (CDI) guides instructors step-by-step in creating a course where they can have confidence that all enrolled students will have the opportunity to achieve the course goals—no matter how rigorous or ambitious.
A new build is an invaluable opportunity to create a course that will work for everyone and align to university priorities for educational equity and excellence. Participants will learn leading-edge strategies of effective course design that prioritize activities that best promote student learning while also creating more efficient use of instructor time for their own sustained well-being.
To achieve that end, participants will follow a “backward design” approach that leads them from first crafting meaningful learning outcomes to then creating the assessments aligned to those outcomes and, lastly, to sequencing activities aligned to the assessments and outcomes. Instructors who participate in the CDI can expect to leave with a Canvas-ready syllabus that includes a course map and student-centered course description and policies.
Partnering with Northwestern IT Teaching and Technology, the goal is for participants to leave with a Canvas-ready course. The institute runs August 27-29 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. In person and online cohorts are offered. Register today.

This event will bring together students and postdoctoral fellows from various Midwest metabolism labs, creating a platform for collaboration and meaningful discussions between trainees and Principal Investigators in the field. The symposium will feature presentations from students and postdocs, along with a keynote lecture by Dr. Richard DiMarchi, a world leader in macromolecular medicines and the development of peptide mimetics for treating diabetes and obesity.
To encourage active participation, all trainees are invited to submit abstracts for poster presentations. The best abstracts will be selected for a 15-minute oral presentation, offering an excellent opportunity for showcasing impactful research. This exciting scientific gathering provides a unique opportunity for participants to engage in discussions, share insights, and build connections within the metabolism research community in the Midwest.
