Although the lab was shut down this summer due to Covid-19, we were still able to help make antibiotic research more accessible by writing this review in Future Medicinal Chemistry! Congratulations Kyle, Grace S., Grace L., Grace V., and Jacob! (Also this might be a world record for number of Graces on a paper!)

Antibiotic drug discovery has been an essential field of research since the early 1900s, but the threat from infectious bacteria has only increased over the decades because of the emergence of wide...
