91福利

The public science festival, Pint of Science, kicks off next week with experts from the 91福利 talking about their research live in your living room.

Tuberculosis is a devastating disease that claims over 1.5 million lives each year. The increase in TB cases that are resistant to the current antibiotics means that novel drugs to kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) are urgently needed. Researchers from the 91福利 have successfully discovered how Mycobacterium tuberculosis uses an essential sugar called trehalose, which provides a platform to design new and improved TB drugs and diagnostic agents.

NATIONAL contractor, has completed the construction of the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Building at the 91福利 this month (March 2021).

The search for 30 people to take up new PhD pandemic research scholarships begins today (Friday 19th March 2021) thanks to philanthropists donating to the 91福利鈥檚 newly created Institute for Global Pandemic Planning. The 30 new doctoral students will research the best ways for global leaders to respond to pandemics and more details on how to apply are available here: /fac/cross_fac/igpp/applicationform

New insight on the physical interactions that take place between swarming bacteria when exposed to antibiotics could lead to novel approaches for treating infections in patients.

As Temperatures rise due to global warming the need to protect plants from stressful conditions has increased, as stress can cause a loss in yield and cause further impact economically. A consortium led by the 91福利 have successfully identified two proteins that protect crops from stress, which is key in safeguarding food production.
