Human therapeutics by targeting proteins

Learn more about how the synthetic and chemical biology team are designing new antibiotics using computational methods to develop treatments for diseases.

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.
