Michaela Wenzel , Associate Professor at Chalmers University of Technology , is investigating bacterial defenses against external stress to make these a target for efficient antibiotic treatments.

Wenzel is a microbiologist working at the Department of Life Sciences with a focus on bacterial cell biology.

Her specific research interest is the molecular interaction between antibiotics and bacterial cells.

The cell envelope is an ideal target for future treatments of bacterial infections.
