Physicists at McMaster have for the first time identified a simple mechanism used by potentially deadly bacteria to fend off antibiotics, a discovery which is providing new insights into how germs adapt and behave at a level of detail never seen before.
McMaster researchers have pioneered one-of-a-kind, new technology that could, for the first time, provide experimental evidence to explain how life was formed on the early Earth, and show whether the emergence of life is possible elsewhere in the universe.
The Rheinstadter Lab is using synthetic human-like tissue created in a petri dish to help identify how and why drugs work differently in different people, an innovation that could lead to significant advances in personalized medicine.
