DNA Sequencing and Mutation Identification
Interns will extract genomic DNA from mutant strains, perform whole-genome or targeted sequencing, and analyze sequence data to identify causal mutations. They will use bioinformatics tools to annotate variants and predict functional consequences.
Microbial Genetics and MutagenesisView internship →
Horizontal Gene Transfer and Genetic Recombination Studies
Interns will investigate mechanisms of genetic exchange in microorganisms including conjugation, transformation, and transduction experiments. They will quantify recombination frequencies, map recombination hotspots, and analyze the genetic outcomes of various transfer events.
Microbial Genetics and MutagenesisView internship →
Peptidoglycan Cross-linking and Bacterial Resistance
Interns will analyze the structural variations in peptidoglycan cross-linking patterns across different bacterial species and their correlation with antibiotic resistance. Students will use biochemical assays and microscopy techniques to examine how modifications in peptidoglycan architecture affect cell wall integrity and susceptibility to beta-lactam antibiotics.
Microbial Cell Wall Structure AnalysisView internship →
Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Cell Wall Composition Comparison
This internship focuses on comparative structural analysis of cell walls between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including lipopolysaccharide (LPS) organization and teichoic acid distribution. Interns will employ chromatography, mass spectrometry, and electron microscopy to characterize compositional differences and their functional implications.
