Brady of The Rockefeller University will present a talk entitled “Watch Where You Step, There’s New Chemistry Everywhere.” Dr. Brady will describe new techniques that make it possible to study bacteria that can’t be grown in the laboratory and explain how these methods may lead to the identification of new antibiotics and better understanding of the human microbiome.
