Summary

Microbial infections threaten our health and kill millions worldwide. In this project, we will deploy cutting edge biochemistry, genomics, and microbiology to carry out an in-depth characterisation of the natural products of mistletoe and assess their bioactivity against microbial pathogens and biofilms. Our goal is to decode the pharmaceutical potential of a traditional medicinal plant in the treatment of microbial diseases.
