The department of laboratory medicine and pathobiology is hosting Joseph Bondy-Denomy for a special tenure-track and Canada Excellence Research Chair candidate seminar.
Dr. Bondy-Denomy’s short bio:
Dr. Bondy-Denomy is a professor of microbiology & immunology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Before joining UCSF, he was a PhD student with Alan Davidson at U of T, where he studied the CRISPR-Cas system and phage-encoded anti-CRISPR proteins.
Research in Bondy-Denomy’s lab focuses on understanding the mechanisms by which bacteriophages evade bacterial defence systems, identifying causal barriers to phage success, and engineering phages to overcome those barriers.
Talk title: Elaborate “eukaryotic-like” mechanisms for immune nuclease avoidance by a jumbo bacteriophage
Date and time: September 15th, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Location: Donnelly Centre, Red Room
