How can we slow down the evolution of antibiotic resistance?
I am inspired by the potential to positively influence people's health through the application of scientific knowledge. I am fascinated by bacteria’s ability to adapt to new environments and am interested in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) due to its profound implications for human and animal health. The immense impact it poses on society motivates me to seek meaningful solutions to this intricate problem. My ultimate goal is to make a positive difference and contribute to addressing the challenges associated with AMR worldwide.
