Infectious Disease and Centre for Bacterial Resistance Biology at Imperial College London.
Dr Edwards is one of the researchers investigating Gram-negative bacteria. One of the new
research initiatives aims to find solutions to bacterial defences. Gram-negative bacteria have
a complex cell envelope defence system which prevents antibiotics from accumulating
inside the cell, and efflux pumps that can eject those that do.
