Uncovering the microbiology of the lung
The Welch Lab
We are a multidisciplinary team based in the Department of Biochemistry
at the University of Cambridge.
Our work is focussed on the biochemistry of the WHO-priority pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
with a particular emphasis on how central metabolism, cell-to-cell communication, and secretion influence its virulence. ​
