معرفی
Soumya Ramu is a researcher affiliated with the University of Queensland's Frazer Institute, focusing on antimicrobial drug discovery and antibiotic development. Her work spans antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic compounds with an emphasis on overcoming antibiotic resistance mechanisms.
Research Interests:
Ms. Ramu's research includes developing novel antibiotics against drug-resistant bacteria, evaluating existing drugs for repurposing (e.g., cannabidiol), and studying chemical agents targeting biofilm-associated infections. She explores metal-ion complexation effects on antibiotic activity and investigates mechanisms of bacterial resistance.
Collaborations:
Her work involves interdisciplinary teams across medicinal chemistry, microbiology, and pharmacology, collaborating with institutions like the Translational Research Institute and global researchers in antibiotic development.
Publications:
Ramu's 24+ journal articles and conference papers (2012-2022) highlight contributions to antibiotic design, resistance mechanisms, and drug-activity optimization. Key topics include lipoglycopeptides for biofilm infections, platinum-based antibacterial complexes, and minor groove binder therapeutics.
