Microbial adaptation

Research topics
Our principal research goals are to understand how microorganisms adapt to different metabolic changes, crucial for their survival. Our studies concern sensing and signaling of different gas conditions, the availability of DNA building blocks, and the reciprocal interactions of DNA replication and repair, responsible for guaranteeing genomic integrity at extreme conditions. We are also interested in the implication of the unusual DNA/RNA structures in key biological processes. To address these crucial questions, we use a wide range of experimental and computational methods.
