Bryant University student Joseph Prete '21 helps Bryant scientist secure patent approval for antibacterial compound; advances lifesaving researching

The research performed in the lab of Chris Reid, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Science and Technology, does more than advance science - it could one day save lives. Working in partnership with colleagues at Brown University, Professor Reid's team recently received a provisional patent for a promising antibacterial compound they've developed.

For Biology major Joseph Prete '21, who has worked with Reid for more than a year and is named as an inventor on the patent, taking part in the research has been a unique learning experience. "Working in the lab is very different from learning in the classroom," he says. "You're actually getting the chance to apply the concepts you learn."
