Joseph Bondy-Denomy, PhD
In the Bondy-Denomy lab, we study and discover bacterial immune systems that antagonize bacteriophages (bacterial viruses). These systems include CRISPR-Cas, restriction-modification, and numerous other anti-phage defenses that are related to human innate immunity including cGAS-STING. We are very interested in how anti-phage defense works and the ways that phages fight back to survive in this ever raging arms race.
