Professor Heather Pinkett shares atomic-level insights to tackle antimicrobial resistance

ELRIG Drug Discovery 2025 Keynote speaker, Professor Heather Pinkett of Northwestern University, shares how her lab is advancing the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by exploring the structure and function of membrane proteins using X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). She reveals how recent technological advances are enabling the study of smaller, more elusive proteins, and emphasizes the importance of supporting emerging scientists working to address pathogens that disproportionately affect vulnerable populations.
