Erik Taylor

Since a small child growing up outside Austin, Texas Erik has always been interested in the human capability to live in harmony with nature.
Although macrobiotic wild-life is less common in the modern city, microbiotic life still flourishes.  This is no different in the hospital setting. Erik's research is geared towards designing treatments
for antibiotic resistant biofilms on medical devices. Using nanotechnology he is designing novel interfaces to promote natural clearing.
