Applying pharmacometrics to develop novel treatment strategies for Staphylococcus aureus infections in children [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2025 ]

Research Grant

Brief description My research will determine the best way to give antibiotics to treat Staphylococcus aureus, one of the most common causes of infection in children. This includes finding out if we can provide highly effective treatment with antibiotics given by mouth instead of through a drip, and with fewer doses each day, so we can treat kids at home instead of in hospital. I will also explore new ways to use common antibiotics to treat antibiotic-resistant infections.
