Alastair McEwan

Professor Alastair McEwan’s research group investigates the oxidation-reduction processes in biocatalysis, regulation of gene expression, and bacterial pathogenicity.

In particular, Prof. McEwan is interested in the role of copper-binding proteins in bacterial pathogenicity and the importance of manganese in resistance to oxidative killing.

The major aim of this work is to identify targets for vaccine production for novel antibiotics.

Prof. McEwan also has specific biodiscovery projects that involve a search for marine and microbial natural products capable of potent and selective inhibition of novel molecular targets as a means to develop next generation antibacterial pharmaceuticals.
