Grant Activity:
Antibiotic resistance: combining microscopy, microfluidics and genomics to target bacterial DNA repair pathways
Purpose:
We desperately need new drugs to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Promisingly, recent studies have revealed an Achilles heel: resistant bacteria depend on DNA repair enzymes to survive antibiotic treatment. Using specially designed growth chambers and cutting-edge microscopes, we will both pinpoint the exact repair process that allows cells to survive and identify ways to stop it. This research will pave the way for new anti-repair drugs that can be used to kill resistant bacteria.
