Abstract
New medicines are very challenging to discover, but they may lay in waiting in the least expected places. This image shows Aspergillus Fungi, otherwise known as common bread mold. Scientists at Northwestern University study organisms like this to come up with new breakthroughs in the field of drug discovery.
