IU researchers awarded funding to commercialize their work
Assistant professor of biology Cristina Landeta and assistant professor of speech, language and hearing sciences Dana Urbanski — both in the College of Arts and Sciences at IU Bloomington — were awarded $25,000 each from the Lawrence Blatt Endowed Fund for Translational Research.
Landeta is developing new antibacterial therapies for disarming disease-causing bacteria. Her team is creating stronger inhibitors that block the natural resistance to antibiotics, presenting an alternative approach to address the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.
