Charlotta Sundin

Charlotta Sundin is a Staff Scientist at the Department of Chemistry, Umeå University, affiliated with the Industrial Doctoral School for Research and Innovation. Her research focuses on bacterial pathogenesis, particularly targeting type III secretion systems (T3SS) in Gram-negative pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.

• Key Research Areas: Inhibition of bacterial virulence mechanisms, development of novel antimicrobial agents, ADP-ribosylation enzyme activity, and structure-activity relationships of small-molecule inhibitors.
• Collaborations: Extensive collaborations across microbiology, medicinal chemistry, and infectious disease fields, including studies on marine-derived antibacterial compounds and cross-pathogen inhibition mechanisms.

Publications highlight her work on salicylidene acylhydrazides, hydroxyquinolines, and resveratrol derivatives as T3SS inhibitors, with applications in combating antibiotic-resistant infections. Her research bridges chemical biology and therapeutic development.
