Bio/Research
Dr. Av-Gay’s Laboratory research is focused on the molecular pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in order to identify new targets for drug therapy. Using bioinformatic and pathogenomic tools, we have identified three molecular targets and we are now characterizing them for their contribution to TB pathogenesis. These targets are protein kinases of M. tuberculosis, mycothiol production and cholesterol utilization by mycobacteria.
