I had the pleasure of showing families and children some of the tools we use in biology at the Newcastle University Discover Festival today! I shared what I do as a microbiologist, highlighting the importance of my work on antibiotic resistance.

Rescuing bacterial genome replication: essential functions to repair a double-strand break and restart DNA synthesis
Many antibiotics indirectly generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage bacterial genomes. Oxidised nucleobases become genotoxic when they are targeted for repair through excision, generati...
