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 …

Congratulations to @Argerie Guevara (CBE’23) for taking the thesis option in her undergraduate research and passing it with unanimous consensus today. Her thesis was titled, “PLGA nanoparticles formulations loaded with antibiotics induce sustained and controlled antibiotics release for prolonged antibacterial action against MRSA, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa FRD1,” and is currently being peer-reviewed for publication. Argerie is currently …

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 …

We are losing in an antibiotic arms race with bacteria due to the emergence and global spread of new antibiotic resistance mechanisms.1,2 At current rates of antibiotics discovery and development we will eventually lose to antibiotic-resistant strains, and by 2050, antibiotics resistant strains of bacteria will kill more patients per year than all cancers combined. …

Our research looks at the basic mechanism of drug resistance in bacteria or cancer cells and then we work on translational solutions to combat these problems. Our approach felt validated at this meeting where we networked with industry end-users as well as disease-on-a chip modeling academicians.
