A team of researchers have solved a 20-year riddle of how a crucial step in the biosynthesis of ‘last-resort’ antibiotics occurs.

Dr Barry Thompson joined our Partner Laboratory Network as a Group Leader last year. He uses Drosophila and mice to explore how cells construct epithelial tissues during development and how epithelial tumours arise.

Hana Starobova, an EMBL Australia PhD course participant, was selected into the global program, Homeward Bound.
