Microbiology research group
Research interests within this theme include the structure and function of viruses and viral proteins and many aspects of bacterial biology including host-pathogen interactions, iron homeostasis and protein secretion. Our research covers a wide range of pathogens including bacteria such as E.coli, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Pseudomanas and Yersinia pestis as well as viruses such as retroviruses, hepaciviruses, coronaviruses and tick-borne flaviviruses.
