Dr. Gunnar N. Schroeder

School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences

The Schroeder Team was launched in summer 2016. We are using an multidisciplinary approach, employing microbiological, cell biological and biochemical methods combined with cutting-edge imaging and proteomics analysis to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of host subversion by opportunistic human respiratory pathogens, in particular Legionella pneumophila and more recently Nontuberculous Mycobacteria.

Ultimately, we aim to translate our findings in new, innovative treatments and diagnostics for bacterial infectious diseases.

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.
