Researchers identify tuberculosis drug-resistance inhibitor and map complete structure of key bacterial pump
Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka researchers have been part of two studies in the battle against drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the cause of tuberculosis. Co-author on both studies, Dr.
Lucy Shapiro received this year’s Lasker Special Achievement Award for her discovery of how bacteria use genetic circuits to encode three-dimensional cellular life. “I was quite shocked, truly,” said ...
