Funded Activity Summary

This project deals with a bacterium that is a major cause of hospital-acquired infections and is the main cause of disease for people with cystic fibrosis. The project aims to identify the cell components that are actively involved in signalling a bacterial infection in the lung and how the body adapts to this interaction. This work will allow us to better understand the biology of the lung and how it copes with infection and may lead to the development of new antibiotics.
