Gregor Mendel Professor of Genetics and of Medicine
A major area of our interest is how eukaryotic cells sense and respond to stress in the form of damage to their genetic material. When cells incur DNA...
Our lab focuses on the molecular nature of innate immune interactions between microbial pathogens and the host. Pathogenic bacteria have evolved complex...
The increasing emergence of bacterial strains resistant to antibiotics is far outpacing our ability to develop novel therapies to treat these infections....
The Mekalanos laboratory is engaged in the analysis of bacterial virulence and functional genomics. The goal of these studies is to understand how pathogenic... Read more about John Joseph Mekalanos
Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology
Research in the Roberts laboratory is centered on kinases, kinase inhibitors, and cancer. We work in a variety of model systems and utilize approaches varying... Read more about Thomas McCoy Roberts
Elliott T. and Onie H. Adams Professor of Biochemistry and Systems Biology
What can we build with biology? We use a synthetic biology approach to understanding biological systems through design, making new biological structures...
We are exploring pathogen-host interactions, particularly in the context of animal models relevant to human infection of clinically important enteric...
