Chemical proteomic tools to study host-microbe interactions
Chemical proteomic tools to study host-microbe interactions
Our group develops chemical tools to answer questions about protein function and the mode of action of small molecules in live cells and at the molecular level. We work across organic and peptide synthesis, protein biochemistry, cell biology and quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics. We work with scientists from other disciplines to design tools to tackle a range of biological questions – from the mechanisms of antibacterial resistance, to how plants regulate growth, and cancer cell signalling pathways. In this talk I will focus on our development of tools to study host-microbe interactions.
Host: Emmanuelle THINON
