Vivek Kapur - Investigator Profile

Research in our laboratory seeks to define the basic mechanisms by which pathogenic microbes successfully infect, colonize, and cause disease in their hosts. The research effort is organized along three thematic lines: microbial population genetics; microbial pathogenesis; and host response to infection. A translational research component seeks to translate the results of the investigations into improved diagnostic tests and methods for microbial identification, as well as investigate opportunities for developing new generations of antimicrobial vaccines and therapeutics.

Scientific Interests/Keywords

Bacterial Pathogenesis, Molecular Epidemiology, Molecular Diagnostics, Immunoprophylaxis
