The Waksman Lab

The main focus of this laboratory is to gain insight into the structural and molecular basis of secretion in Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. We are particularly interested in unraveling the structures of large, multicomponent assembly systems acting as nanopumps. Please, click on the link below to learn more about what we do in that field.

Structural biology of bacterial secretion systems

Other activities in the lab:

Biophysical studies of SH2 domains and Structural and functional studies of DNA Polymerase I enzymes
