Congratulations to Jim Janetka, whose work on UTI treatments was featured in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Dr. Janetka helped with a new study that may prevent the common problem of recurrent urinary tract infections with the use of a molecular decoy that targets e. coli bacteria. (more…)
