Seminar series "Translational Drug Research - Where will new antibiotics come from? Some reflections"

The HIPS-DZIF "Translational Drug Research" seminar series covers many different topics related to bringing a project into clinical trials and eventually to the market.

On Friday 14 October 2022, Dr Heinz Moser (Executive Director, Global Discovery Chemistry, Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research), will give the next lecture in this series: “Where will new antibiotics come from? Some reflections”.

Over the past decades, the scientific community struggled to identify novel and safe antibiotics, especially against emerging, multi-drug resistant Gram-negative pathogens. This talk will focus on our current understanding of the chemical property space for antibiotics with activity against Gram-negative bacteria and outline possible opportunities of changes necessary to improve our success. While the problem is complex and multi-parameter driven, the focus here will be on property space and the chemical matter used in our screening efforts to identify novel and therapeutically useful antibiotics.
