We are passionate about finding new ways to stop bacteria that no longer respond to antibiotics. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most urgent health challenges of our time, and we are working to outsmart these resilient pathogens through innovative science and creative thinking.

Our research uses an advanced skin infection model to explore how bacteria form biofilms—protective layers that make infections stubborn and hard to treat. By studying these hidden bacterial survival strategies, we are discovering new ways to break through their defences and make treatments more effective.

One exciting direction in our lab is the development of antibiotic conjugates — redesigned versions of existing drugs that enter bacterial cells more efficiently and are more effective against resistant strains. This approach could pave the way for smarter, stronger therapies that transform how infections are treated.
