OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Dissecting bacterial host-pathogen interactions
Abstract:
Bacterial pathogens have evolved a diverse range of strategies to infect, survive, and replicate within a host. Dissecting the interactions between bacteria and their hosts can help us understand how pathogens cause disease and facilitate the developments of novel diagnostics and therapeutics to treat human disease. My laboratory studies bacterial host-pathogen interactions using a combination of two powerful tools – large scale genetic screens designed to identify novel bacterial virulence factors, and three-dimensional air-liquid interface tissue cultures that allow us to characterize the mechanisms through which these candidates interact with the human lung epithelium. In this seminar I will discuss the applications of these tools towards a better understanding of respiratory pathogens including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the neglected tropical pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei.
