Our Research Areas
Our interdisciplinary team strives to develop novel drug therapies and vaccine strategies for the treatment and prevention of multi-drug resistant bacterial infections and their infectious complications, including non-healing wounds and toxin-mediated diseases. We believe that this process can be streamlined by gaining a better understanding of the basic science of host-pathogen interactions and by using infection models which are predictive of clinical outcomes
Microbial Pathogenesis
We study the pathogenesis of microbes at a skin and mucosal surfaces to identify novel targets for therapy and disease prevention.
