Current Research Opportunities

• Dissection of protease signalling during bacterial infection for drug and biomarker discovery

Public outreach & key achievements

• End of 2017 Gunnar Schroeder was awarded an MRC New Investigator Research Grant to study the role of Legionella virulence factors in the manipulation of the host.
• The Schroeder Team regularly engages with the public and promotes scientific awareness, e.g. at the NI Science Festival and through work-placements for pupils as well as local and international students.
