NIH-funded project at Rockefeller University led by Sean F Brady to discover antibiotics from soil microbiomes using metagenomics, focusing on culture-independent natural product discovery methods.
Description
The project focuses on discovering new antibiotics from soil microbiomes using metagenomics. It aims to develop culture-independent methods for natural product discovery, especially antibiotics, involving bioinformatics, cloning, culture-independent methods, and natural product biosynthesis. The project is funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) and is part of the NIH grant PAR-19-367. The primary investigator is Sean F Brady at Rockefeller University in New York.
