The problem

Antimicrobial resistance is an urgent global health concern that threatens to render current antibiotics ineffective.

Our solution

We use computational modeling and experimental approaches to study drug-target enzymes and design new potential antibiotics.

The impact

Our work leads to the development of new treatments for diseases, novel antibiotics, vaccine components (such as those for SARS-CoV-2), and more.
