A phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase effector alters phagosomal maturation to promote intracellular growth of francisella.

Aria Eshraghi's research program investigates how bacteria use virulence factors to evade detection by the immune system and cause disease. Aria's team uses highly pathogenic bacteria as models to understand how bacteria inject toxins into the host and to characterize the pathways that underlie pathogenesis. Aria's goal is to discover these bacterial pathways and toxins so that we can develop countermeasures to prevent and treat infections.
