Structural biology and therapeutic targeting of proteins involved in infection and immunity [ 2016 - 2020 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Bostjan Kobe (Principal investigator)

Brief description Structural biology plays an essential role in uncovering how proteins function at the molecular level, and further facilitates strategies to develop therapeutics targeting the diseases these proteins are involved in. In the proposed work, I will focus on bacterial virulence factors, to develop new antibiotics and vaccination strategies, and proteins involved in innate immunity pathways, to develop therapeutics against a number of associated disorders including chronic inflammatory diseases.
