Research Description: 

In the Bondy-Denomy lab, we study CRISPR-Cas bacterial immune systems in an effort to understand their role in antagonizing viruses called bacteriophages. We are very interested in how CRISPR works and the ways that phages inhibit and evade CRISPR-Cas function.

Primary Thematic Area: 
Virology & Microbial Pathogenesis
Secondary Thematic Area: 
Immunology
Research Summary: 
CRISPR-Cas immunity and anti-immunity
