Molecular Microbiology & Immunology

We employ interdisciplinary approaches to identify novel and repurposed therapeutics, elucidate pathogen biology and decipher host–pathogen interactions. Our division is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, diverse animal models and the expertise required to characterize protein targets, evaluate their druggability and assess the in vivo efficacy of promising anti-infective candidates. The department also houses a national BSL-3/ABSL-3 facility dedicated to Mycobacterium tuberculosis cultures and infection models.
