Research interests

The focus of the Rohde lab is to understand the mechanisms by which the bacterium, Shigella spp., causes disease. We are especially interested in how pathogens hijack the ubiquitin proteasome system. Our lab is also developing genetic tools to facilitate the study of virulence at a systems level.
