Biofilm Science Discoveries and the People Behind Them

Welcome to Beyond the Biofilm – a space where science meets story. Previously titled ‘Research in Focus,’ this series shines a light on the researchers driving innovation in biofilms and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), sharing their experiences, insights, and the real-world impact of their work. Through personal reflections and professional journeys, we explore how scientists are tackling global challenges, from improving health outcomes to protecting our environment. Beyond the Biofilm also amplifies voices championing equality, diversity, and inclusion in research, celebrating the people shaping a more collaborative and representative scientific community.
