Bacterias are getting resistance to antibiotics. Therefore researchers all over the world try to find solutions. In this lecture, which is a part of "forskningens døgn" you will get insight into antimicrobial peptides that might be the solution.
Forskningens døgn is an opportunity to uncover some of the newest research in different areas by scientist working on danish universities.
In this webinar we are proud to anounce lektor Biljana Mojsoska at Roskilde University, who is working at University of Southern Denmark
About the lecture
"Antibiotic resistance is still a major health concern, and researchers are discovering novel strategies to combat this. In this talk, I will discuss a promising solution, antimicrobial peptides, and how to discover them.
This lecture will delve into antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), an alternative to conventional antibiotics. In this talk, I will go through the discovery and development of AMPs as a next-generation drug design.
In the research, antimicrobial peptoids are developed by studying how the peptoids’ structure affects interactions with bacterial cells, membranes and adaptive stress responses. By using clinically relevant Gram-negative pathogens, especially Pseudomnas aeruginosa, the research analyzes protein responses to understand antimicrobial activity, tolerance, and resistance.
By understanding what makes these materials effective, we can design better antimicrobial agents."
