Research Interests:
The medical community is at a constant state of war with bacteria to both prevent and overcome antimicrobial resistance, which is one of the largest threats to global health. The frequency and nature of bacterial cell replication combined with the widespread use of antibiotics suggests that antimicrobial resistance is likely to persist. Dr. Bulman’s laboratory investigates novel pharmacotherapeutic approaches that aim to overcome drug resistant bacteria and improve patient outcomes.
