Laboratory of Microbes and Molecules

Our lab studies mechanisms of immune effectors, pathogen sensing, and immune evasion across all forms of life, with a focus on membrane pore-forming proteins and programmed cell death. ​​​The lab is located at Brandeis University 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 Brandeis Electron Microscopy Center.
