A new mechanism for inhibiting bacterial division

Structured Illumination Microscopy of ComM, PBP2x, RodA and DivIV molecule machineries implied during division ring in S. pneumoniae

Natural genetic transformation is integrated into the cell cycle of pneumococcus. The pathogenic bacterium S. pneumoniae, commonly known as pneumococcus, is capable of integrating DNA sequences present in the external environment into its genome. This natural transformation process, which is highly conserved in bacteria, contributes to their diversification by enabling intra- and inter-species gene exchange. […]

PhD position in Design of Cross- and Multi-species Genetic Circuits

Project Background Bioengineering of genetic and metabolic circuits has a wide range of applications. However, most efforts in circuit design are currently limited to a small subset of laboratory model organisms used in monocultures, many of which may be incompatible for their target applications. Expanding circuit design to a novel organism remains an uphill task […]
