Researcher Fights Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria With New Funding
By Maroon & White | fall 2017
Saint Mary's chemical biologist Dr. Clarissa Sit's research into how to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria and fungi received a big boost this August as the result of an investment of $171,204 from the federal government. As a result of this funding, Dr. Sit will have access to a high-resolution mass spectrometer, equipment that will increase the success rate of finding new molecules in soil that have antibiotic or drug-like properties. If successful, this could lead to the discovery of microbes that develop new natural products, which can be used to develop new medications.
