Research award winner presents results at Paderborn University's Research Day
Antibiotic-resistant germs are responsible for nine per cent of all deaths worldwide - and the trend is rising. This means that they are increasingly posing major problems for medical professionals. This is where a research project by Dr Adrian Keller, head of the "Nanobiomaterials" group in the Department of Chemistry at Paderborn University, comes in. His aim is to modify existing antibiotics using DNA nanostructures in order to restore the effectiveness of drugs against resistance. Two years ago, Keller was honoured with the Paderborn University Research Prize for his work. He has now pres
