Our research interests include a variety of host-pathogen interactions including the Complement system, bacterial adhesion, type III and tat secretion systems and picornaviral-receptor interactions. Methods used include molecular biology, protein chemistry, X-ray crystallography, NMR, EPR and electron microscopy.
Research Details
- Structural biology to aid understanding of host-pathogen interactions
- Innate immunity, especially the Complement system
- Pathogen evasion of host immunity, particularly serum dwelling spirochaetes
