A researcher at University College Cork is to lead a European-funded investigation to find viable alternatives to antibiotics — a challenge described as "one of the most important of our time".
Professor Paul Ross will work on the project to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in his role as director of APC Microbiome Ireland, a research centre based out of UCC.
