The application of viral and cellular metagenomics to natural environments has expanded our understanding of viral diversity at the population level. Most natural environments are characterized by having a high diversity of microbial and […]

Kaustuv Sanyal – JNCASR (J. N. Centre for Advanced Scientific Research) / Bangalore India Since the discovery of the 125-bp long “point” centromeres in Saccharomyces cerevisiae in 1980, centromeres have been identified in many […]
Speaker: Luis Barreiro, PhD. Assistant Professor CHU Sainte-Justine/University of Montreal Canadian Research Chair in Functional and Evolutionary Genomics of the Immune System. Montreal Canada Abstract: Infectious diseases have always been a major health […]
This talk will describe the development, organization, and management of the National Centre for Cellular Imaging (CCI) that offers world-class access, service, and expertise to a variety of innovative imaging technologies in a single […]
The N-methyltransferases represent a large enzyme family that functions by specifically transferring a methyl group from the cofactor S-adenosyl-l-methionine (AdoMet) to a nitrogen center in a target protein or small molecule. The Martin lab […]
Cells depend on components being moved to the correct place at the correct time. My group is interested in cytoplasmic dynein-1 (dynein), a motor which delivers many different cargos via the microtubule network. When […]

It is now well recognized that the microbiota plays an important role in the development, immunity and physiology of its mammalian host. Considerable progress has been made in identifying microbes and microbial metabolites that […]
My lab is interested in elucidating the activity of virulence factors from pathogenic bacteria so that we can gain novel molecular insights into eukaryotic signaling systems. The marine bacterium Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the worldwide […]
With 1/8 deaths due to a substance of abuse worldwide, addiction is a public health priority, but its pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Genetic modifications of nAChR α5 subunit alter nicotine and cocaine self-administration in […]
Why do not only understand how others feel but also care about what they feel? We vicariously activate brain regions involved in our own actions, sensations and emotions while we witness those of others. […]
Pasteur-Weizmann Council Seminar hosted by the Department of Cell Biology and Infection “Characterizing the Host-pathogen Crosstalk at Early Stages of Infection” presented by Roi Avraham (PhD) (Group Leader at the Weizmann Institute of Sciences) Monday, […]
Research in the Carlson lab focuses broadly on the molecular recognition between ligands and proteins, from the fundamental biophysics of ligand binding to applied inhibitor design. Understanding protein flexibility, allosteric control, and ligand binding […]
