Antimicrobial Research

Antimicrobial research focuses on developing and studying substances that can effectively inhibit or kill harmful microbes like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. This research aims to understand how microbes cause disease and to create drugs, such as antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics, that treat infections. It also involves monitoring resistance patterns and discovering new compounds to stay ahead of evolving microbes. This work is crucial for improving healthcare, preventing the spread of infectious diseases, and ensuring effective treatments remain available in the face of microbial resistance.
