Microbiology

Research in the group of Microbiology focuses on understanding the mechanisms involved in secretion of proteins and the role of secreted proteins in bacterial membrane biogenesis and fungal growth and development. Microbiology is divided in the fungal and the bacterial group.

Bacterial group

The research program of the bacterial group studies cell envelope-related processes in Gram-negative bacteria and focuses on three lines: 

  • biogenesis of the bacterial outer membrane
  • protein secretion
  • vaccine development
