Project 2: Polymer-based Materials for Biomedical Applications

Questions we are trying to answer:

1. How do functional, ionic oligo-/polyelectrolytes alter the outer cell envelope of bacteria?

2. What is the underlying action mechanism of antimicrobial molecules against wild-type and antibiotic-resistant bacteria?
