About Us

Welcome to the Molecular Microbiology group.

We study bacterial spores of the Bacillus and Clostridium genera, which are the most resilient cells observed in nature. Several species are notable human and animal pathogens, including Bacillus anthracis, Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium difficile, although most are harmless saprophytes.

Research

We’re interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms of spore germination, which dormant spores undergo when stimulated to return to the vegetative state.
