ASU researchers awarded $5.8M NIH grant to develop antimicrobial susceptibility test

Health-threatening bacteria are developing resistance to the antibiotics we use to treat the diseases the bacteria cause. Nongjian Tao, a Fulton Schools professor of electrical engineering, is part of team that will develop new and more effective antibiotics or other drugs, along with diagnostics technologies to better identify resistant microbes. Tao, director of ASU’s Center for Bioelectronics and Biosensors, will focus on designing and building the new technology.
