Reeves Lab – Level 5 Peter Reeves Gordon Stevenson Yaoqin Hong Vincent Morales

Research interests of Reeves Lab Bacterial pathogenesis and evolution - Examining evolutionary relationships of pathogens eg. Shigella are clones of E. coli that have multiple unrelated origins Relationships between Vibrio cholerae pandemic and endemic strains - Genetic and functional basis for bacterial cell surface polysaccharide eg. Genetics and structures of bacterial capsules, O antigens… Roles of O-antigen synthetic proteins, eg. Wzx, Wzy… Protein specificity associated with surface polysaccharide assebmly

Techniques/Tools that we use Traditional molecular biology tools - cloning - site directed knockout/knock in - 1 D PAGE - Immunoblot Also - Sequencing (sanger, ilumina, 454…) - Radioisotope labeling - bioinformatics - possibly protein related work
