Bach received a fellowship from the Triangle Center of Evolutional Medicine to study the natural evolution of naturally-occurring peptide antibiotics. While >60% of FDA-approved antibiotics originate from Nature, how these antibiotics evolved is largely unexplored. In this project, Bach will study the evolutional course of antibiotics using the recently discovered ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptides (RiPPs) antibiotics. The results will provide novel insights into the natural evolution of antibiotics and may reveal an evolution-based approach to discovering novel antibiotics. Congratulations, Bach!
