Research Information
The major interest of my laboratory includes the characterization of the pathogenic mechanisms of B. mallei and B. pseudomallei with the goal of producing suitable vaccines and therapeutics. My laboratory is also interested in the elucidation of the mechanisms used by pathogenic E. coli to adhere to and colonize the intestinal epithelia and characterize regulatory networks controlling their expression.
