Welcome to the Laboratory of Nathan Weyand
At the laboratory of Nathan Weyand, we delve into the intricate world of bacteria-host interactions. Our research focuses on understanding how these interactions facilitate colonization, asymptomatic infections, and immune evasion. By investigating these fundamental processes, we aim to enhance our knowledge of microbial pathogenesis, which is critical for developing effective therapies and vaccines.
Our Research Objectives
Our lab operates at the intersection of bacteriology and cellular microbiology, engaging in cutting-edge research to uncover the complexities of bacterial behavior in host environments. With a commitment to life science research, our investigations enable us to discover insights that could shape future medical advancements. We adopt a multi-disciplinary approach, utilizing a variety of techniques to assess how bacteria interact with host cells and the immune system.
Training Environment for Future Scientists
At Nathan Weyand’s laboratory, we believe that fostering a rewarding training environment is essential for nurturing the next generation of scientists. We provide students and trainees with opportunities to explore important questions in microbiology that inform the broader field of life sciences. Our commitment extends beyond research; we aim to inspire students to pursue their interests and aspirations in scientific inquiry while contributing to the understanding of how life works.
