Brief description Bacterial ‘superbugs’ present a significant global medical challenge. ‘Old’ polymyxins are the only antibiotics against Gram-negative ‘superbugs’ but with limited pharmacological information available. In the next 5 years, as a pharmacologist I will continue re-developing polymyxins and discovering novel antibiotics against these problematic bacteria. My research targets the “Bad Bugs, No Drugs” disaster highlighted by the Infectious Diseases Society of America and the World Health Organization.
