BSB PhD Exit Seminar: Study of bacteriophage encoded glucosyltransferase genes (gtr) in Shigella flexneri serotype 1c »
We identified several hypothetical genes and putative bacteriophage regions in Y394 genome, which warrants future investigation for determining the role of these unknown genes in relevance to pathogen virulence and survival in the host environment.

BSB Seminar Series - Host-directed therapy for infectious diseases: host cell signalome as a target »
We have recently implemented an antibody microarray-based approach to systematically assess the host cell signalling response to intracellular pathogens; most of the antibodies on the array are phospho-specific, allowing to monitor the activation of signalling pathways by infections.
