传染病困扰着人类;感染造成了全世界约20%的死亡。迫切需要新的策略，我们已经将我们的研究定位于解决如何在入侵人体组织的初始阶段阻止细菌病原体的问题，并提供对细菌细胞表面关键分子的全面了解。这些基础知识对于新药、疫苗和抗感染医疗器械至关重要。

Infectious diseases plague mankind; with infections responsible for approximately 20% of all deaths worldwide. New strategies are urgently needed and we have positioned our research to address questions around how to forestall bacterial pathogens in the initial phases of invasion of human tissues and provide full understanding of the key molecules on the surfaces of bacterial cells. This fundamental knowledge is crucial to new drugs, vaccines and infection-resistant medical devices.
