Today, we received that our proposal for investigating mechanisms of Pathogenic hijacking of plasma membrane cholesterol has been selected by the Samuel and Emma Winters Foundation for funding! Builing on the work Dr. Heisler did in his postdoctoral studies with Neal Alto and Arun Radhakrishnan, this project is hopes to uncover novel mechanisms bacteria use to control host cholesterol levels and the implication of those on host-pathogen interactions.
