I am interested in developing new antimicrobials to combat the increasing threat of drug-resistant infections and resilient bacterial communities known as biofilms.
This work is crucial as antimicrobial resistance is projected to claim 10 million lives annually by 2050 if new treatment solutions are not found. My research aims to benefit multiple sectors, including medical, veterinary, water, food, and agricultural industries.
