Marine Antibiotics
The majority of our clinically used antibiotics derive from compounds produced by terrestrial microorganisms.  New sources for the discovery of antibacterial agents must be identified in order to combat increasing resistance to current drugs.  The next great frontier for antibiotic drug discovery will likely be the world’s oceans.  This project will examine the antimicrobial effects of molecules produced by marine bacteria.  It is envisioned that the project will involve elements of microbiology and organic chemistry.
