Research on Tap: mining for 鈥渃hemical gold鈥�
Research on Tap returns Thursday evening with a public discussion about a new 鈥済olden age鈥� in antibiotic discovery. The first half of the 20th century was an exciting era for scientists searching for drugs to effectively treat bacterial infections. But those discoveries are now rare, and bacteria are getting better at resisting our most powerful tools.
Researchers like 秀色短视频鈥檚 Logan MacIntyre are searching for new antibiotics using new methods. While some worry that drugs that can be derived from bacteria and fungi have been exhausted, MacIntyre will explain new methods that may take this search in a new and exciting direction.
Logan leads the discussion Thursday, November 16 at 6:30 pm in The Wave.
