DESCRIPTION:Zemer Gitai\, Department of Molecular Biology\, Princeton Uni
 versity\nThe rise in resistance to known antibiotics has made developing n
 ew approaches to combatting bacterial pathogens increasingly urgent. I wil
 l discuss work from my lab that aims to address this unmet need by bringin
 g quantitative and biophysical perspectives to the problem. For example\, 
 we have combined machine learning and morphometric studies to design scree
 ns for antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action. Meanwhile\, novel meth
 ods for single-cell transcriptional analysis enable new insights into the 
 heterogeneity of bacterial responses to antibiotics\, which may in turn he
 lp improve their use in treating infections.
