MSc Microbiology and Infection Masterclass- 13 April 2026

The traditional approach to infection was simple: kill the bacteria. But this strategy has a major flaw - it creates a survival-of-the-fittest race that has led to the superbugs we face today.

What if we stopped trying to kill them and started sabotaging them instead?

This session explores the shift from "searching and destroying" to disarming pathogens. We will analyse how to break the machinery bacteria use to share resistance secrets and cause disease. By interfering with their communication and gene transfer, we can render even the toughest bacteria harmless without triggering the survival instincts that lead to resistance.

Join us in the free online session to explore how we are shifting from traditional antibiotics to a new era of precision interference. Whether you are interested in molecular biology, drug discovery, or clinical medicine, this session will redefine how you view the future of microbiology.
