RESEARCH
Summary:
The focus of the Redinbo Lab is the examination of the structural and functional basis of cellular function with an eye toward human health. Current projects include discovery and development of drugs that improve chemotherapeutic efficacy for cancer and other diseases, and elucidation of the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance propagation in infectious pathogens. Basic science goals include understanding DNA manipulation and processing, transcription, and protein function during infection and disease.
Core Techniques:
Structural biology, chemical biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, cell biology, drug discovery.
