Natural Products are at the forefront of fighting the global epidemic of antibiotic resistant pathogens, and keeping the inventory of clinically applicable pharmaceuticals stocked up. Some Natural Products are also potent human toxins and pollutants, and we need to understand how these toxins are produced to minimize our and the environmental exposure to them.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EThe IBB Breakfast Club Seminar Series was started with the spirit of the Institute\u0027s interdisciplinary mission in mind to feature local IBB faculty member\u0027s research in a seminar format. Faculty are often asked to speak at other universities and conferences, but do not often present at their home institution - this seminar series is an attempt to close that gap. IBB Breakfast Club Seminars are open to anyone in the bio-community.\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Ch6\u003EVinayak Agarwal, Georgia Tech\u003C\/h6\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Vinayak Agarwal, Georgia Tech"}],"uid":"35486","created_gmt":"2026-07-21 14:38:56","changed_gmt":"2026-07-21 14:43:12","author":"Christina Wessels","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2027-02-09T08:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2027-02-09T09:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2027-02-09T09:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2027-02-09 13:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2027-02-09 14:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2027-02-09 14:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Petit Biotech Building (IBB), Suddath Seminar Room 1128, 315 Ferst Drive","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
