| An
understanding of the way in which an invading pathogen interacts with
its host at a molecular level is an essential aid to understanding the
nature and
extent of disease caused. My group aims to use a variety of techniques
to probe the interactions that characterise different disease
processes.
Central to this
approach is
the use of X-ray crystallography to determine the structures of
individual host or pathogen components with a view in the longer term
to examining the atomic structure of important host-pathogen complexes.
