Graduating senior Adaku Okorie’s undergraduate research was supported by the Auerbuch Stone lab Antimicrobial Drug Discovery Giving Day fund
Since 1928 with the discovery of penicillin, antibiotics have been used to treat bacterial infections. Due to large-scale antibiotic use, there has been an increase in antibiotic resistance infections. Therefore, it is important to identify bacterial targets for new antibiotics.
