    Current Research Interest<\/strong><\/p>

    Antibiotic discovery – Engaging undergraduates in active research to discover antibiotics from soil bacteria in their own backyards. As I help students to culture bacteria from soil test bacteria for antibiotic activity against safe relatives of pathogens, extract chemicals from bacteria with possible antibiotic activity and carry out genomic and metabolic testing of antibiotic profiles, students gain valuable research experience with real-world relevance.<\/p>

        Student Project<\/b><\/h3>

        Antibiotic discovery research holds profound significance for public health and medicine. Before the discovery of antibiotics in 1928 by Alexander Fleming\u2019s serendipitous discovery of penicillin, bacterial infections were often fatal. However, as antibiotics became more widely used, pathogens with mechanisms for antibiotic resistance began to emerge. The past three decades have seen an alarming rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and extreme multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), which poses significant challenges to public health because standard treatments become ineffective, leading to higher morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. This continual evolution of pathogens and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria underscore the necessity of ongoing research in this field. Antibiotic discovery research is crucial for developing new drugs that can overcome these resistant strains. By identifying novel compounds and mechanisms of action, researchers can create antibiotics that target resistant bacteria, ensuring that we stay ahead of evolving microbial threats.<\/p>

        In this project, Students are tasked with collecting soil from diverse environments such as gardens, forests, and urban areas, and isolating microorganisms from these samples. The microorganisms are then cultured and tested for their ability to produce substances that inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. This process involves a series of steps, including:<\/p>

        Sample Collection<\/strong>: Students collect soil samples from any location of their choice
        Isolation and Culturing<\/strong>: Soil samples are processed to isolate microorganisms. These are then cultured in controlled environments to encourage growth.
        Antibiotic Screening<\/strong>: The cultured microorganisms are tested against known bacterial pathogens to identify those producing potentially useful antibiotics.
        Characterization<\/strong>: Promising antibiotic-producing strains are further analyzed to understand their properties, effectiveness, and potential applications.<\/p>

        This hands-on project will not only teach students fundamental microbiological techniques but will also engage them in the scientific process of discovery.<\/p>
