Project: Investigating novel strategies to study drug synergy/antagonism in combination therapy for key bacterial pathogens
Howden Group
This project will focus on identifing novel strategies for high-throughput testing of antibiotics in combination, to support large functional genomic studies investigating the microbiological factors influencing synergistic or antagonistic activity in combination therapy.
