Award for research on antimicrobial agents derived from AApeptide biomaterials to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria, funded by NIAID with an amount of $373,750.
Description
This project focuses on designing and investigating new antimicrobial agents derived from AApeptide biomaterials to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The project aims to develop novel antibiotics with mechanisms to combat drug-resistant bacterial infections, including MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The project involves synthesis, optimization, and in vivo testing of hydantoin derivatives derived from AApeptides.
