There is an antibiotic crunch happening globally and to address this stalemate, Wistar hosted its first gathering of top scientists working to combat antibiotic resistance. 

Dr. Kazuko Nishikura has been a pillar of Wistar science for the past 37 years with a career overlapping with the rise and expansion of the RNA biology field, which explores the alternative functions of RNA in the cell, besides carrying the genetic information from DNA to proteins.

Wistar scientists are discovering new biomakers that may be useful in the development of diagnostic tests that could detect early stages of cancer.
