Welcome!
We are a dynamic group of scientists that is passionate about surface colonization. Bacteria spend a great deal of time in their native environments growing on solid surfaces. Establishing these attached communities is a deceptively complex process that requires exploratory cells to seek, recognize and attach to target substrates. Our group dissects the molecular mechanisms underlying the colonization sequence. Ultimately, we believe that characterizing how bacteria colonize surfaces will lead to new avenues for treating infections.
