Our lab is interested in chromosome dynamics in bacteria.
Our research primarily focuses on a set of highly conserved factors in chromosome biology, including the parABS partitioning system and the SMC condensin complex.
Specific research directions include:
- Chromosome organization and segregation during the replication cycle
- Identification and characterization of novel factors involved in chromosome biology
- Molecular mechanism of chromosome packaging
- Chromosome folding during growth and development
Research areas:
- Chromatin, Chromosomes, and Genome Integrity
- Genomics and Bioinformatics
- Microbial Cell Biology and Environmental Responses
- Microbial Interactions and Pathogenesis
Research Interests:
- chromosome dynamics, bacterial cell biology
