About
Dr. Charlotte Emanuel is a leading researcher in the field of antimicrobial therapeutics, with a primary focus on combating the global crisis of drug-resistant pathogens. Her groundbreaking work centers on the application of alginate oligosaccharides—specifically a compound known as OligoG—to overcome antibiotic and antifungal resistance. In her highly influential 2012 paper (170 citations), Dr. Emanuel demonstrated how these seaweed-derived oligosaccharides can potentiate the action of selected antibiotics against multi-drug resistant bacteria, offering a novel strategy to address the escalating costs and dangers of resistant infections. She further expanded this paradigm in her 2014 work (89 citations), showing that OligoG not only inhibits fungal cell growth but also enhances the efficacy of conventional antifungals against *Candida* and *Aspergillus* species. By revealing the dual antibacterial and antifungal potentiating properties of alginate oligosaccharides, Dr. Emanuel has opened a promising new avenue for developing adjuvant therapies that restore the power of existing drugs, making her a pivotal figure in the fight against antimicrobial resistance.
