RESEARCH INTERESTS Molecular biology of bacterial signal transduction Prokaryotic genetics Protein-protein interactions PUBLICATIONS Poster Conformational suppression of inter-receptor signaling defects I am interested in how bacteria sense and respond to chemical cues in their environment. We use genetic and molecular biology techniques to study how the receptor proteins involved in chemotaxis detect their cognate ligands, and how they transduce this information across the cell membrane via interactions with other cytoplasmic proteins to produce the appropriate behavioral response.
