Biography
With the growing concern over the increasing prevalence of “super bugs”, Dr. Reid-Yu is interested in understanding how bacterial pathogens develop antibiotic resistance. In particular, how resistance is cultivated by these pathogens on a genetic level, as well as the potential implications these genetic changes may have for resistance to not only antibiotics, but also the host’s own anti-bacterial arsenal. For it is through understanding the genetic mechanisms behind pathogens’ resistance that potential alternative therapies can be developed.
