A research team led by chemistry Prof. Paul Hergenrother and former PhD student Kristen Muñoz (PhD, '23) has developed a new antibiotic that reduced or eliminated drug-resistant bacterial infections in mouse models of acute pneumonia and sepsis while sparing healthy microbes in the mouse gut.
A team from the Department of Chemistry took first place among 12 teams in a cross-campus computational science competition at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications.
