Measuring Gene Expression and Growth Rate during Bacterial Infection in Humans

Speaker

Harry L.T. Mobley, PhD

ASM Distinguished Lecturer

​

Department of Microbiology and Immunology

University of Michigan Medical School

​

Dr. Mobley runs a cutting edge bacterial pathogenesis lab investigating metabolic pathway and transport system activity, and more importantly which genes are actually expressed, during human infection. Novel techniques including RNA-Seq and Tn-Seq allow them to identify the most highly expressed and the most essential genes during actual infections in order to understand how bacterial pathogens evade our immune defenses.

Location
