Screening for new chemical compounds that fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria

The D-BSSE groups led by Karsten Borgwardt, Petra Dittrich, and Andreas Hierlemann are key partners in the National Competence Centre for Research “AntiResist”, which is centered around developing new approaches to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Novel analysis methods, improved tissue-culture models and innovative computational methods will be used to realistically reproduce infection scenarios and find new antibiotic drugs.
