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.

Research

  • 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

  • Fungal group

    The research program of the fungal group focuses on: 

    • the location of production and secretion of proteins in fungi 
    • the role of secreted proteins in pathogenicity and the formation of reproductive structures
