Definitive Elucidation of Virulence Mechanisms: New Experimental and Computational Approaches

Despite dramatic advances in sequencing and associated techniques, the central challenge for understanding infections has remained. Why does a given bacteria cause disease?

This webinar will highlight the latest efforts in understanding why certain bacteria, such as Campylobacter jejuni, are able to cause disease. The study conceptually unites two other major efforts in the lab: the development of better genetic tools for E. coli and the sequence analysis of bacterial outbreaks. These new methods provide a glimpse of even higher potential in the application of genomics to the study of infectious diseases in the coming years.
