Current Projects


 

Therapeutics

Anti-virulence

disarms pathogens from their ability to cause infection without affecting their viability

 
 

Predictive Diagnostics

Prognostic Multi-Biomarker Gene Panel

predicts patients’ resilience or hypersusceptibility to infections prior to any clinical sign.
