75% Characterization of the Clostridioides difficile transferase. About the Lab: Research in the Sheedlo lab is focused on defining the mechanisms that govern interactions at the host-pathogen interface. Specifically, we are interested in using structural biology (cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography) to obtain a framework that we can then probe in a physiologically relevant context. Of particular interest is understanding how the Gram-positive pathogen, Clostridioides difficile, uses toxins and effectors to elicit disease.
