Research interests of Reeves Lab
Bacterial pathogenesis and evolution - Examining evolutionary relationships of pathogens eg. Shigella are clones of E. coli that have multiple unrelated origins Relationships between Vibrio cholerae pandemic and endemic strains
- Genetic and functional basis for bacterial cell surface polysaccharide eg. Genetics and structures of bacterial capsules, O antigens… Roles of O-antigen synthetic proteins, eg. Wzx, Wzy… Protein specificity associated with surface polysaccharide assebmly
Techniques/Tools that we use
Traditional molecular biology tools - cloning - site directed knockout/knock in - 1 D PAGE - Immunoblot Also - Sequencing (sanger, ilumina, 454…) - Radioisotope labeling - bioinformatics - possibly protein related work
