Laboratory of Microbes and Biochemistry

Welcome to the lab of Microbes and Biochemistry at Brandeis University.

​

Our lab studies mechanisms of immune effectors, pathogen sensing, and immune evasion across all forms of life, with a particular focus on pore-forming proteins and programmed cell death. ​​​The lab is located within the Biochemistry Department and is associated with the graduate programs in Biochemistry and Biophysics and Molecular and Cell Biology.​

 

The lab employs diverse techniques of biochemistry, microbiology, and structural biology. We are particularly excited to make use of the excellent resources for cryogenic electron microscopy at the Louise Mashal Gabbay Cellular Visualization and Electron Microscopy Center.
