Jamel Ali, researcher at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, is collaborating with a colleague from Howard University to investigate bacteria dynamics, supported by the NSF. This project has the potential to impact public health and provide new treatment methods for bacterial diseases.
“Antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) strains of bacteria are increasing and if we want to develop new antibiotics and diagnostic tools to effectively identify and control their spread, we need to better understand what physical forces drive their drug resistance,” Ali said. The research aims to determine the role fluid flow plays in the development of bacterial communities.
