Projects

Molecular Strategies of Host–Pathogen Recognition
COMPLETEDERC CoG

This project investigates the structural and biochemical determinants of host–pathogen recognition, combining spectroscopy, structural biology, and molecular modelling. The work aims at identifying key residues and conformational switches that modulate pathogenic invasion and immune evasion.
