Antibiotic Resistance
September 2025
Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest health challenges of our time. Could metal complexes provide an unexpected answer? This film by Jonathan Stauffer explores the problem and highlights current research by Angelo Frei and his team at the University of Bern.
The short film combines fiction and science: a comic-style story illustrates the dangers of antibiotic resistance, while an interview with Angelo Frei and collage-style animations explain the science behind metal complexes.
