Event Details

This lecture will discuss a toxin-absorbing nanoparticle platform (also called “toxin nanosponge”) as a new virulence factor-based therapeutic candidate against invasive bacterial infections.  The toxin nanosponge technique also reduces the selective pressure for further antibiotic resistance because no antibiotics are involved in the treatment.

Speaker: Prof Liangfang Zhang, Dept. of Nanoengineering and Moores Cancer Center UCSD

Lecture series focusing on key topics in the scientific community. Helps attendees better understand topics and how they impact their lives. In partnership with SD Wet Lab.
