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 at the Brandeis Electron Microscopy Center.
