Our Research
The research in the Division of Microbiology & Parasitology comprises a wide range of topics including: bacterial motility and flagellar biogenesis, mechanisms of entry of bacteria into mammalian cells, bacterial toxin export and multi-drug efflux, regulation of gene expression during host-pathogen interaction, transmission, cell-cycle dynamics and virulence mechanisms in malaria parasites, host modulation by parasitic organisms and dynamics of parasitic worm infection in human populations.
