This group of researchers worked with Purdue chemistry professor Herman Sintim to identify a new compound that in preliminary testing has shown itself to be as effective as antibiotics approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat life-threatening infections while also appearing to be less susceptible to bacterial resistance. Pictured are Nader Shawky Abutaleb, a graduate student in the Saleem Research Group, Haroon Mohammad, a postdoctoral fellow in the Saleem Research Group, Neetu Dayal, postdoctoral fellow in the Sintim Research Group and Clement Opoku-Temeng, graduate student in the Sintim Research Group.
