The Nallathamby group won 1st place at the DoD’s largest health conference (MHSRS’23) for our disruptive work tackling the biggest public health problem of Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections. I am proud to represent ND among other distinguished participants! #GoIrish #NDresearch #mdr #MHSRS2023. Our work was titled, “Wound Healing Promoted by Broad-Spectrum, Phage Structure Mimicking, Synthetic …

Nallathamby group’s work on “Phage-mimicking, Broad-spectrum, antibacterial nanoparticles” was showcased at MTEC’s annual meeting in Richmond, Virginia. I am proud to represent Notre Dame and the Berthiaume Institute for Precision Health at the 8th annual meeting of MTEC to learn firsthand the medical needs of the DoD. Our focus on combating antimicrobial resistance using phage …

In recent combat theaters, despite advances in treating critical injuries leading to higher survival rates, there has been an increase in the number of infections linked to trauma, particularly those caused by bacteria resistant to multiple drugs 1,2. Research from the Trauma Infectious Disease Outcomes Study indicates that 27% of those evacuated with injuries develop …
