POTSDAM -- Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Ada Yonath will present a lecture titled "Can Structures Lead To Advanced Therapeutics?' on Friday, Nov. 21 at 4:15 p.m. in Science Center Room 360.

The presentation will be preceded by a 3:30 p.m. reception. In describing her Friday lecture, Yonath says that the incredible global increase in resistance to antibiotics that we are witnessing recently is a serious medical threat.

"It seems that the world is approaching a post-antibiotic era, in which common infections and minor injuries, which have been treatable for decades, could become fatal once again," she says.
