Programme Structure

Research areas include:

the role of bacterial polysaccharides and glycoconjugates in disease;
relationship between infection and gut flora;
structural biology of cell surface proteins in bacterial pathogens including their interaction with the immune system and implications for vaccine development;
adaptation of intracellular bacterial pathogens to life inside the cell;
development of novel approaches to combat antibiotic resistance;
mechanisms used by bacterial pathogens to handle transition metals and their role in host-pathogen interactions;
