Our current research projects focus on
1) the optimal immune response to eradicate mycobacteria upon infection
2) the role of microbial community life-style and biofilm formation in mycobacterial pathogenesis and phenotypic tolerance to antibiotic treatment
3) using the zebrafish-M.marinum model to study the efficacy of new antimycobacterial drugs
