  Project Title: Towards the next generation of wound treatments. I obtained my PhD from the University of Leeds, working with Dr Alex O'Neill. My research primarily focused on the development of novel anti-biofilm agents, to be used against the mixed species biofilms found on chronic wounds. My research also looked to determine the antibacterial mechanism of action of novel agents and establish how biofilms are maintained. This project was in collaboration with Smith and Nephew based… Show more Project Title: Towards the next generation of wound treatments.
