Translational control in infection biology: riboproteogenomics of bacterial pathogens

Project description

Proteomic insight during bacterial infection

Understanding host–pathogen interactions is central for tackling infections. Moreover, understanding the molecular changes from a pathogen’s perspective that underpin a successful infection is required for the design of new therapies. The EU-funded PROPHECY project focuses on how pathogens change their proteins during infection. The work will employ Salmonella typhimurium as a model pathogenic organism to study transcription and translation during infection using cutting-edge techniques. Emphasis will also be given to the underlying regulatory processes. PROPHECY is expected to identify new virulence factors that will pave the way towards the development of novel diagnostics and therapeutics.
