Research & Clinical Interests

Research Interests:

The Hybiske Lab investigates the molecular mechanisms of Chlamydia pathogenesis, including sexually transmitted infections.

Our ultimate goals are to identify new therapeutic targets against this major pathogen, and to contribute to our broader understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms of intracellular bacteria.

Current research projects include:

Mechanisms of Chlamydia exit from host cells, dissemination, and immune evasion
Functional genomics for Chlamydia
Virulence factor discovery for Chlamydia
Proteomic discovery of novel Chlamydia-host interactions
