Research Expertise<\/span><\/h2>\n

The goal of my research program is to develop a detailed understanding of bacterial cell shape, cell size, and cell envelope integrity. The bacterial cell envelope contains several components that are physically interconnected, including the cell wall and one or more membranes. To maintain cell shape and the integrity of the cell envelope during growth, different envelope remodeling processes must be coordinated. In addition, the growth of the cell envelope must be coordinated with important processes of cell physiology, including biomass growth and chromosome replication. My lab addresses these issues on multiple scales, ranging from the behavior of a single protein to the macroscopic shape of cells and the cell cycle. To this end, we develop and use approaches from physics and biology, including high resolution microscopy, microfluidics, and mathematical modeling.<\/span><\/p>\n
