Infection Biology

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
