actually making them work for people--not just in the Petri dish."

Research has shown that existing antibiotics can successfully destroy anthrax bacteria, but not the toxin in anthrax, which can be fatal to humans. Kane said the compound he is developing could be injected into healthy humans as a preventive measure against anthrax exposure, or given to infected individuals as an antidote to counteract anthrax toxin, which will then allow the immune system or antibiotics to eliminate anthrax bacteria.

Kane's anthrax inhibitor research is part of Rensselaer's overall effort to advance biotechnology discoveries for the benefit of public health, the environment, homeland security, bioterrorism, economic development locally and globally.
