My research
I am interested in the basic mechanisms involved when bacteria infect the human host. My research group studies, at the molecular level, the function of bacterial surface proteins and protein appendages involved in infectious processes as well as bacteria-host interactions. A special focus is on pathogens causing recurrent urinary tract infections and newborn meningitis as well as on health-promoting lactic acid bacteria. We also apply bacterial proteins and protein complexes biotechnologically for medical or diagnostic purposes.
