Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a pressing global challenge. With infections failing to respond to available antibiotics, there is an urgent need to discover novel methods to tackle them. At the CB Lab, we are committed to advancing the understanding AMR, and exploring host-defense peptides or antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), as potential solutions to this crisis.
