Latest Pre-Print From Dr. Heisler’s Postdoc is online
Released today on bioRxiv, the Alto and Gammon labs identify previous unknown host factors that restrict viral replication during cellular infections. Led by graduate student Aaron Embry, this study used a library of bacterial effector protein genes, which Dr. Heisler generated, to screen for proteins that suppressed host immune factors and allowed an otherwise restricted…
Welcome Cate!
The Heisler lab is excited to welcome Cate to this lab this spring. Cate is a passionate biology student who is eager to gain hands-on research experience. Cate will be focused on understanding how membrane cholesterol levels regulate bacterial pathogenesis of a variety of human pathogens.
