Research Activities

My research focus on establishing a platform for screening the antimicrobial activity and mode-of-action of novel antibiotics based on MIR spectroscopy. This includes bioassay optimization for high throughput screening, the application of multivariate analysis ranging from chemometrics to neural networks and culminates in building a library of antibiotic responses for various bacterial models.
