Molecular regulation of stress sensing and processing in gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial models.

Research project funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences to study molecular regulation of bacterial stress sensing and processing in gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, aiming to improve understanding of bacterial responses and antimicrobial therapy.

Description

This project uses two different bacterial species with the goal of elucidating the molecular pathways and principles that govern cue sensing and understanding how sensory signals are processed and interpreted to enact responses that maximize cell survival and fitness. It aims to yield a mechanistic understanding of bacterial stress sensing and response systems, with implications for combating bacterial infections and environmental contamination.
