Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying bacterial pathogenesis and host resistance is crucial to designing effective vaccines and antibacterial drugs. CBRB which spans ImperiaCollege’s Faculties of Natural Sciences and Medicine, uses multidisciplinary approaches and cutting-edge techniques to study bacterial infections at atomic, cellular and organism levels. CBRB aims to find ways to develop new antibiotics, combat AMR, and develop effective vaccines. The Centre collaborates with ImperiaCollege-associated hospitals, industry and other centres of research excellence.
