Dr Jeffrey Buter has been researching the chemical biology of the parasite that causes TB to understand how the particular cell wall of Mtb enables it to avoid the immune response of the host

Tuberculosis (TB) – the world’s most deadly bacterial infectious disease – kills around 1.5 million people every year, and its treatment remains challenging. Dr Jeffrey Buter at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, has been researching the chemical biology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the parasite that causes TB. Buter believes that understanding the structure–activity relationship of the components, in particular […]
