OTHER MODULE STUFF
The module aims to demonstrate routes to the discovery of antimicrobial products, through the use of research papers as the basis of each lecture and tutorial.
This is an exciting time for those biologists involved in the search and discovery of novel antimicrobial products: the advent of genomics and post-genomic techniques has provided biologists with a number of research avenues that aid in the discovery of novel products from microbial sources. This module is designed to introduce students to such developments. The course uses a mixture of lectures and practicals to introduce contemporary approaches to antimicrobial drug discovery.
