Infection

The re-emergence of drug-resistant pathogens has led to the need for novel drugs and drug targets.  Within the ARC Centre of Excellence in Structural and Functional Microbial Genomics  we are using structural biology to investigate specific processes important in the pathogenisis of infectious human and animal diseases.  These investigations are focussing on important pathogenic bacteria, which will not only unravel key aspects of microbial physiology and pathology, but will also provide a range of antimicrobial drug targets.
