Margareth Sidarta

In the era where multi-resistant superbugs have become the global health threat, Margareth Sidarta studies bacterial cell envelope stress responses against antibiotics in her PhD project. Using Bacillus subtilis as a model organism as well as several pathogenic bacteria, her work involves molecular cloning, fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopy-based methods, and -omics approaches. The project goal is to provide a better understanding on how bacteria become resistance to antibiotics and use this knowledge to develop new antibacterial strategies.
