Location of University of Birmingham
Research in Molecular Microbiology is concerned with understanding how bacteria survive and adapt in the environment. There is a particular focus on studying the bacterial cell envelope, gene regulation, bacterial motility, bioenergetics and the factors responsible for virulence and infection.
Several groups study the organisation and evolution of bacterial chromosomes and of mobile genetic elements such as plasmids. There is a particular interest in biotechnology and the exploitation of bacteria as cell factories. Other groups study the bacteria responsible for tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases and food poisoning.
