Sam Twahirwa is working with Dr. Bourne. His current research is about studying the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterial toxin and antitoxin system, as a potential drugable target for new antibiotics. Later on, he will be studying the crystal structure of the Oxysterol Binding Protein (OSBP) in complexation with its experimental inhibitors, which will inform the design and synthesis of more specific and efficacious inhibitors.
