Gene editing enables rapid engineering of complex antibiotic assembly lines
Our most recent paper describes an entirely new route to complex antibiotics exploiting gene editing to re-programme pathways to future medicines urgently required to combat antimicrobial resistance, treat neglected diseases and tackle future pandemics. The paper adopts an highly interdisciplinary approach, combining cutting edge chemistry, microbiology & genetics. Well done to our team for delivering this.
