"Genomic approaches to metabolite exploitation from Xenorhabdus, Photorhabdus" (GAMEXP)
Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
"The majority of compounds used to treat diseases come from a single group of organisms, the actinomycetes. This over-reliance on a single organism to produce the worlds drugs is a major problem for the development of compounds with alternative modes of action which can overcome and delay the onset of drug resistance. To address this problem we will form an international multi-disciplinary group o ...
