New NCCR with IMSB participation

The IMSB labs of Paola Picotti, Uwe Sauer and Mattia Zampieri are part of the just granted National Center of Competence in Research to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria (NCCR AntiResist). It is a collaboration with colleagues at the Biozentrum and University Hospital Basel and the ETH Department of Biosystems in Basel. The aim is to find new antibiotics and develop alternative strategies to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria by linking basic research directly with clinical research.
