About this position

Primary Supervisor - Dr Andrew Beekman Antibiotic-resistant pathogens are a huge threat in healthcare and farming. The last resorts of conventional antibiotic drugs are unable to treat multi-resistant strains in patients. New approaches towards antibiotics are desperately needed. To spread and survive, bacteria need to divide. Thus, bacterial cell division has emerged as a promising antibiotic target pathway to combat multi-resistant pathogens. This project aims to target protein interactions that pathogenic bacteria, like the causative agent of TB, Mycobacterium tuberculosis require to spread
