About
The project funded by the Human Frontiers Science Program has been rewarded in May 2023 to an international and interdisciplinary team led by Nikhil Malvankar (Yale University, USA), Lisa Craig (Simon Frazer University, Canada), Carlos Salgueiro (University of New Lisbon, Portugal) and Olivera Francetic (Institut Pasteur, France).
Their collective expertise in nanowires (Malvankar), hemes (Salguiro), type IV pili (Craig) and bacterial secretion (Francetic) will help unravel how the complex pilus machinery helps microbes produce nanowires.
