New in silico platform for antimicrobial development to meet the UK’s defence and security needs

Moleculomics, based in Swansea, in South Wales, has collaborated with the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) to produce an innovative new platform to assist in the development of novel antimicrobials.

This collaboration has led to the computational prediction of structures of entire bacterial genomes and the identification of homologous antimicrobial targets across a number of different organisms.
