Iverson receives Innovation Catalyst Fund award
Tina Iverson, Louise B. McGavock Chair and professor of pharmacology, received an Innovation Catalyst Fund award for her research project, “Inhibition of Bacterial Chemotaxis as an Antibiotic Potentiator,” which focuses on chemotaxis—a versatile process that allows bacteria to swim toward energy-rich molecules, find preferred niches for infection, avoid harmful species, change speeds, and form biofilms—as a potential target for new therapeutics. A recent publication from her lab describes how that process works in detail.
