Reversing Drug Resistance in Bacteria
Faculty Sponsor: Jason Sello
Dan synthesized and characterized a library of novel compounds that have the potential to reverse antibiotic resistance in bacteria. These compounds were tested on live strains in an iterative process to optimize their activity. The research will contribute to efforts to restore the efficacy of powerful antibacterial drugs whose utility has been compromised by resistance.
