Title: The peptidoglycan as a signalling molecule in the host
Host: Felipe Cava
Place: Betula Bldg 6M
Prof. Boneca research aims at studying the role of bacterial peptidoglycan in host-microbe interactions. Using several bacterial models such as Helicobacter pylori, Neisseria meningitidis, Yersinia sp., and Listeria monocytogenes among others, his lab explores the dynamics of peptidoglycan sensing in the host cell during infection and the way pathogens are able to subvert/modulate the host response by modifying their peptidoglycan.
