Bad deeds go unpunished: the vacuole guard hypothesis and pathogen intracellular growth
NIH Director ’ s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series Ralph Isberg has been a Professor of Molecular Biology and Microbiology at Tufts University School of Medicine for 32 years. After receiving an undergraduate degree at Oberlin College, he obtained his PhD at Harvard working on transposable genetic elements in bacteria. Throughout his career at Tufts he has primarily focused on the pathogenesis of Legionella pneumophila and enteropathogenic Yersinia, and has recently initiated projects on tackling drug resistance in nosocomial organisms. His research highlights include the identification of proteins involved in uptake of...

Strategies for Cytosolic Surveillance of Bacterial Pathogens.
Immunology Interest Group Dr. Russell Vance is Professor of Immunology & Pathogenesis at the University of California, Berkeley and an Investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He received his Ph.D. from Berkeley in 2000, and then conducted postdoctoral research on host-pathogen interactions in the laboratories of John Mekalanos and Bill Dietrich at Harvard Medical School, where he developed a focus on the genetics of host resistance to Legionella pneumophila. Continuing this work in his own lab at Berkeley, he has made major contributions to our understanding of the molecular basis by which pathogens are ...
