Disciplines including molecular biology ...

H. pylori


colonization increases the risk of gastric ulcers and strattera online adenocarcinoma. On the other hand, its presence seems to protect against some diseases of the esophagus. The focus of this laboratory is the study of biology


pylorus H.


Colonization and the nature of interactions that lead to (or protection from) disease. Several ways of being approached. We consider the option, including oligosaccharides (Lewis) antigens on H. pylori



cell surface and the nature of the host forces that select for cells in particular phenotype. Disciplines including molecular biology, genetics, mathematics. We use transgenic mice and knockout to test hypotheses related factors as the host and bacterial evolution. Other projects related to the restriction-modification systems that act as barriers to horizontal gene transfer and metastable pathogenicity island in H. pylori



genome (CAG Islands). The third area of ​​work related to recombination, the endogenous mutation and DNA repair, to understand their role and regulation in the generation of diversity. .
