Meet the Researchers - Global Warriors

Dr Nicholas Condon will showcase some of the amazing technology available at the IMB that enhances our institute’s research capabilities. Working with many of the researchers within the institute he will take you on a visual journey across the scales of bacteria to whole organisms, showing you that seeing really is believing when it comes to biological research. Professor Sweet will share how antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a global threat to human health. The battle against antibiotic resistance is unlikely to be won by fighting on a single front of making new antibiotics. Instead, multiple strategies are needed. This talk will explore the concept of “immune reprogramming” as an anti-infective approach to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The focus will be on manipulation of cells called macrophages, the “big eaters” of our immune system.
