What we do
The Pidot lab works to identify new antimicrobials and investigate their biosynthesis using a combination of microbiology, genomics and biological chemistry.
We have a particular focus on unusual actinomycetes, especially those that cause infections in humans and animals. We use a variety of state-of-the-art techniques ranging from bioinformatics and molecular microbiology to isolation chemistry and mass spectrometry to uncover and investigate bacterial metabolites that kill other bacteria.
