Pablo J. Pomposiello - Buenos Aires, Argentina Assistant Professor, Department of Microbiology Licenciado en Biologia - University of Buenos Aires, Buenos
Aires, Argentina Aerobic organisms share the threat of oxidative damage,
since oxygen generates toxic byproducts through cellular respiration that
damage proteins and DNA. We are trying to understand how cells adapt to
both chronic and acute exposure to oxidants. In particular, we study the
genetic responses to oxidative stress in organisms that can switch between
aerobic and anaerobic lifestyles, including the bacterial species Escherichia
coli and Geobacter sulfurreducens. |
