Research project awarded to study nitrogen metabolism in Staphylococcus aureus, aiming to understand pathogenesis and regulatory mechanisms using advanced molecular techniques.
Description
The project focuses on the role of nitrogen metabolism in S. aureus pathogenesis. The research aims to identify preferred nitrogen sources and regulatory mechanisms. The project involves advanced techniques such as LC-MS, qRT-PCR, RNAseq, and gel-shift assays. The training will provide a comprehensive background in bacterial genetics and metabolism. The project is part of the Center for Staphylococcal Research.
