HENRY F. CHAMBERS, M.D., Professor of Medicine
The focus of Dr. Chambers' work is experimental therapeutics and mechanisms of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Studies are concerned primarily with identification of drug targets and biochemical and genetic characteristics of resistance in Staphylococcus aureus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Research projects range from molecular investigations of beta-lactamase, penicillin-binding proteins and their regulatory elements; animal models of infection; and clinical drug development, particularly promising agents for treatment of staphylococcal and mycobacterial infections.
