Topic: Medical ethnobotany and the discovery of new drugs for antibiotic resistant infections
Dr. Quave will tell the story of how her research group has discovered new leads for antibiotic adjuvants, from field research documenting the traditional use of these plants in topical therapeutics for skin infections, to the laboratory analyses that have revealed their unique mechanisms of action against drug resistant bacteria, like MRSA.
