2023 Antimicrobial Peptides Conference GRC

The 2023 Gordon Research Conference on Antimicrobial Peptides will be held in Lucca (Barga), LU Italy. Apply today to reserve your spot.

The Hancock Lab's #introduction: Our lab researches #microbiology and #immunology topics from a #systemsbiology approach. Infectious disease has a massive global burden, estimated to kill over 13 million people annually, placing it as the 2nd leading cause of death. Our projects include targeting #biofilms with novel antimicrobial #peptides, understanding the mechanisms behind adaptive #antimicrobialresistance, and developing better diagnostics and treatments for #sepsis and #covid.
