Pavelka Lab
Bacterial Cell Envelopes
The Pavelka laboratory studies the genetics and biochemistry of the cell envelopes of mycobacteria and Gram-negative bacteria. Our primary goals are to understand how bacterial cell envelopes are assembled and maintained in a variety of pathogenic bacteria. Our laboratory also develops genetic tools for our work in cell envelope biology.
