Our molecular biologists and geneticists study which genes are involved in key biological processes and how the expression of these genes is regulated in normal and disease states. New methods like CRISPR gene editing are studied and applied to expedite discovery and the development of therapeutics.

The EBSlab is focused on (micro)biological conflicts and the weapons used by bacteria to target competitors. The group uses Salmonella and a specialized contractile nanoweapon called T6SS to understand how enteric pathogens overcome colonization resistance imposed by members of the microbiota and establish an infection. The effectors secreted by the T6SS comprise a pool of proteins with interesting new biochemical activities, providing opportunities for several interdisciplinary projects encompassing microbiology, cell biology, biochemistry, structural biology and bioinformatic.
