MICROBIAL PATHOGENESIS
Applications
| Welcome to the Bavoil Lab! | Microbial Pathogenesis |
|
The Bavoil laboratory studies the pathogenesis of the obligate intracellular pathogen, Chlamydia, and its bacteriophages. Specific research areas include the role of Chlamydia type III secretion in pathogenesis and development, the impact of Chlamydia phage infection on disease, the role of the polymorphic membrane protein family of C. trachomatis in infection and disease and comparative genomics within the Chlamydiaceae.
Drs. Patrik Bavoil and Jacques Ravel are co-Directors of the university-based NIH STD Cooperative Research Center "Ecopathogenomics of Chlamydial Reproductive Tract Infection" (EPCRTI), also known as the CHARM study.
Dr. Bavoil is Chief-Editor of the journal FEMS Immunology and Medical Microbiology and President-elect of the Chlamydia Basic Research Society (CBRS).
