Led by Aria Eshraghi · Infectious Diseases and Immunology
What we study
The Eshraghi Lab studies how bacteria cause disease, focusing on Francisella and its type VI secretion system. They use bacterial genetics, molecular biology, and animal models to understand infections and develop new treatments.
