Profile
The laboratory looks at host-pathogen interactions between Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb) and human macrophage cells. We focus on how intracellular MTb regulates expression of host genes, especially those involved in immune responses. The laboratory also has programs discovering novel anti-mycobacterial molecules from actinomycetes.
