Antimicrobial strategies:
novel small molecules

Structure based in silico design and testing of glycosidase inhibitors

We are focusing mainly on screening of small molecules for inhibition of Oral pathogen sialidases based on high-quality unpublished structure based information.

Antimicrobial plant extracts - Phytoquest

We are focusing mainly on screening of small molecules for inhibition of Oral pathogen sialidases based on high-quality unpublished structure based information.

Antimicrobial plant extracts– antifungals

In collaboration with Professor Thomas Smith in the Biomedical Research Center at Sheffield Hallam University we have an ongoing project investigating antimicrobial compounds from plant extracts aimed at combatting fungal infections.

Ruthenium based antimicrobials

In collaboration with Professor Jim Thomas, Chemistry, Sheffield; we are assessing a range of Ruthenium-based compounds to test their efficacy against anaerobic pathogens.
