OPTIMALITY PRINCIPLES IN RESPONSES TO ANTIBIOTICS (OPRA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

"Antibiotics kill bacteria or inhibit their growth by targeting essential cellular processes. In response to antibiotic exposure, bacteria activate gene regulation programs that are specific to the action of the antibiotic. These responses to individual antibiotics are often well-mapped, but how do bacteria respond dynamically to drugs? And is this regulation optimized for survival and growth in t ...

Microbial Ion Channels for Synthetic Neurobiology (MIC-SN)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

The goal of this project is to control signalling in the mammalian nervous system with ‘hi-jacked’ microbial receptor proteins. We will first compile a comprehensive library of microbial ligand-gated ion channels (m-LGICs), and we will then characterize the function of selected m-LGICs in molecular detail. In order to exploit the technological potential of m-LGICs, we will employ them to control s ...
