UW–Madison researchers identify new ways to address bacterial infections, which could accelerate alternatives to traditional antibiotics.

“Few researchers bridge fundamental science and applied innovation as seamlessly as Prof. Handelsman. Her work consistently yields ideas that are not only publishable but patentable. From a patent strategy standpoint, Handelsman’s research is a goldmine—her insights into soil microbiomes and a...

“Christina’s approach to preventing fungal diseases before they become a problem is critical in these times when pathogenic fungi are expanding their prevalence, often in response to climate and weather pattern changes.”

Diet is a key determinant of gut microbial composition and mucosal immune function, yet the microbial mechanisms linking diet-mediated metabolic changes to immune regulation remain incompletely unders...

Clostridioides difficile is an urgent threat to human health. Current treatments for C. difficile infections (CDIs) are antibiotics and microbiome restoration therapy (MRT) for recurrent cases. Howeve...

The Departments of Medical Microbiology & Immunology and Bacteriology have sponsored the Perlman Symposium on Antibiotic Discovery and Development since 2010. The symposium highlights the medical aspe...
