|
The SCBIR lab is based the [Francis Crick Institute](https://crick.ac.uk) in London. We use large-scale genetics and chemical biology to study |
|
how pathogenic bacteria infect and evolve resistance to antibiotics. |
|
|
|
Ultimately, we aim to enable antimicrobial therapies which exploit key weaknesses in the ability of pathogenic bacteria to infect and evolve resistance to antibiotics. |
