Bacteriology & Microbial Pathogenesis

Fighting disease

Our bacteriology and microbial pathogenesis research team is using cutting-edge molecular and genomic technology to study how pathogens cause disease. They’re also working on ways to make the food and water supply safer for Canadians.

As a student conducting research with us, you’ll gain a better understanding of the rational design of more effective vaccines and new antimicrobial strategies. You’ll also gain useful experience in the emerging field of synthetic biology, which has broad implications for the development of biofuels, green chemistry and robots.
