What a heartbreaking story, just terrible. At least she will leave behind a potential world class new line of antibiotics.

Kirsty, 28, the scientist leading fight against antibiotic resistance crisis after creating first new class of drug in 40 years 'might not live to see Nobel Prize win' after incurable cancer diagnosis

Kirsty Smitten harbours fantasies of one day collecting a Nobel Prize for her scientific work – and rightly so, given that it could save millions of lives and avert a medical catastrophe.

At just 28, she has achieved something that hasn't been done for nearly 40 years: created a new class of antibiotics.
