Racing Against Antibiotic Resistance: Professor Yonatan Grad’s Role in the Fight

Antibiotic resistance is a mounting global crisis, as bacteria continue to evolve faster than existing medicines. A recent Harvard Gazette article highlights how scientists across Harvard are urgently seeking solutions to outpace these “superbugs,” developing new treatments and strategies to safeguard public health.
Within this effort, Professor Yonatan Grad and his team in the Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases are leading innovative research to track the evolution and spread of resistant bacteria. Their work provides critical insights that can help shape new interventions against antibiotic-resistant infections.
