Host-Pathogen Interactions An understanding of the way in which an invading pathogen interacts with its host at a molecular level is an essential aid to understanding the nature and extent of disease caused. My group aims to use a variety of techniques to probe the interactions that characterise different disease processes. Central to this
approach is
the use of X-ray crystallography to determine the structures of
individual host or pathogen components and of important host-pathogen complexes. |
