DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Research at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB) is essentially about the study of the fundamental processes that control all cell life and development. Studies of how genes are structured and organized, how gene activity is regulated and how gene information via RNA is translated into protein. Proteins typically operate by interacting with other proteins or by transforming the molecules. The study of these processes is an essential element of all research at BMB. Protein function is often regulated by the proteins being modified in various ways, and identification of these modifications is also a key area for the Institute’s research.
\nThe Institute’s research is very internationally oriented and takes place in close cooperation with many international research institutions and enterprises.<\/p>\n

Microbiology and pathogenic bacteria<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kallipolitis group carries out research on gene regulatory systems in gram-positive bacterial pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes<\/em> and Staphylococcus aureus. We focus on understanding how RNA- and protein-based gene regulatory systems control the adaptation of bacterial pathogens to changing and stressful environmental conditions. We are particularly interested in uncovering the biological function and mechanism of action of small, regulatory RNAs. In addition, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is being exploited as a model host for the study of host-pathogen relationships. In other on-going research projects, we investigate new strategies for prevention and treatment of bacterial infections.<\/p>\n
