Biofilm Research Center

The Biofilm Research Center studies groups of tiny, slimy communities called biofilms that form on surfaces, including medical devices, water systems, and industrial equipment. These biofilms are complex, resistant structures made of bacteria and other microbes embedded in a protective matrix. The center aims to understand how biofilms develop, their impact on health and industry, and ways to prevent or control their growth. This research helps improve infection prevention, enhance water and sanitation systems, and develop new materials or treatments to manage biofilm-associated problems efficiently.
