“Method Development for High Throughput Biology,” by Nicolas Coutin, doctoral candidate, Corey Nislow Lab, UBC Abstract: Living things are made from thousands of individual, interacting pieces. To understand these systems, we will need to study many or all the pieces at once. To study biology this way, we will need tools that consider the whole […]
BMBDG Seminar – Steven Rutherford – Cancelled
Cancelled: “New modalities for interfering with outer membrane biogenesis in Gram-negative bacteria,” by Steven Rutherford, Senior Scientist, Infectious Diseases, Genentech. Multi-drug resistant bacteria are a global health threat and new strategies are needed to combat them. However, the discovery of novel antibiotics to treat infections by Gram-negative bacteria has been thwarted by the outer membrane, […]
