Organisation profile
Our research focusses on several key areas including microbial pathogenesis, antimicrobial resistance, the development and use of novel antimicrobials, the formation and persistence of bacterial biofilms in chronic infection, the application of contemporary microbiological techniques to improve diagnostics, and genomics to understand disease transmission and the spread of antimicrobial resistance. We benefit from national, international, clinical, and industry collaborations enabling our work to make real-world change. Our research is supported by learned societies, charities, and industry.
