Science on Tap is a monthly seminar series that brings scientists to the public to talk about their research in an informal setting.
Bidisha Chakraborty is in the Nair lab. Research in the Nair lab focuses on understanding the basis for regulation of bacteria by small molecule natural products. Our laboratory uses classical biochemical and microbiological techniques, in combination with biophysical methods (in particular X-ray crystallography) to decipher how microbes utilize small molecules to establish ecological niches, and combat against the colonization of antagonistic species that may compete for limited resources. This research focus is predicated upon the notion that knowledge of such interactions drives the discovery and development of natural products that can be used to combat the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
