The Discovery of New Tuberculosis Drugs From Natural Compounds
11 Jul 2019
In this video, Dr. Kyle Rohde, associate professor at the University of Central Florida, discusses his lab's work to find the next generation of antibiotic treatments for tuberculosis (TB). This is achieved by testing natural compounds that may have antibiotic activity as well as looking at known TB drugs to make them more effective. Here, Rohde explains how the Integra ASSIST PLUS system addresses the liquid handling challenges faced when setting up drug plates. Rohde highlights the small footprint, the affordability, and the user-friendly interface as features that make the ASSIST PLUS the ideal instrument for his laboratory's needs.
