Membrane Biosynthesis, Structure & Behavior

in Microbial Pathogenesis


WELCOME

Welcome to the research lab of Jessica C. Seeliger, Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at Stony Brook University. 

We are applying biochemical, microbiological and biophysical methods to fundamental questions in bacterial membrane biogenesis as they relate to M. tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis, and to bacterial pathogenesis in general.
  • How is lipid biosynthesis accomplished at the cytosol-membrane interface?
  • What are the molecular mechanisms underlying bacterial membrane assembly?
  • How can we subvert lipid biosynthesis and membrane assembly pathways for antimicrobial therapy?

The JSeeliger Lab welcomes students from the MCP, Chemistry, Microbiology, MCB and BSB programs.
Interested learning more about the lab?  Please contact Prof. Seeliger at jcs at pharm.stonybrook.edu
