Biography
Dr. Howell’s research has led to the identification of several glycosyl hydrolases that are capable of both preventing biofilm formation and degrading preformed biofilms. These enzymes are being developed as combination therapies for the treatment of a range of bacterial and fungal infections, and as disinfectants and coatings for cleaning and protecting surfaces.
