"Cell Wall Biosynthesis as a Target for (Novel) Antibiotics"

Föreläsare

Tanja Schneider, Institute for Pharmaceutical Microbiology, University of Bonn, Germany

Tanja Schneider is a leading scientist in the field of antibiotic development and characterization. She was part of the study that identified the ’new’ antibiotic teixobactin and her lab is focused on identification and characterization of novel cell wall targeting compounds.

A new antibiotic kills pathogens without detectable resistance.
