Revision as of 14:45, 15 October 2014
Overview
We are a team of undergrads studying in University of Aberdeen. There's six of us - 5 biologists and 1 physicist.

Dr Rey Carabeo
Ph.D., Oncology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
B.S., Microbiology & Molecular Genetics, UCLA
Research interests:
Cell biology of Chlamydia pathogenesis:
- - Signal transduction and actin dynamics during Chlamydia invasion
- - Modulation of host cell focal adhesions by Chlamydia
- - Biological and computational modelling of early events in Chlamydia infection
Dr Alessandro Moura
Lecturer in Physics. Dr de Moura holds a PhD in Physics from Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brazil.
Dr Moura has a background in dynamical systems and statistical physics. His research interests in these areas include transient chaos, nonhyperbolic chaotic scattering, and chaotic advection of flows. Since moving to Aberdeen, he has been applying physics and mathematics to understand fundamental biological processes, in collaborations with biologists in Aberdeen and elsewhere. Biological problems he is actively working on include: mathematical modelling of DNA replication, dynamics and regulation of protein synthesis in uni-cellular organisms, modelling the responses of pathogenic fungi species to combinations of stresses, homeostasis of bacteria, macromolecular dynamics in cellular membranes.
Dr Berndt Müller
Diplomierter Naturwissenschafter ETH (ETH Zürich, 1983), PhD (ETH Zürich, 1988), Privatdozent (Universität Bern, 1999)

At Bern University, he identified factors that control the processing of histone RNA to mature mRNA.

Research Interests
Salmonella Typhi is an exclusive human pathogen and the cause of typhoid fever, a life-threatening systemic disease that affects millions of people and kills more than 200,000 every year. The goal of my research is to gain insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms of Salmonella Typhi pathogenesis and its human-adaptation. We are using an advanced cell biological approach, where imaging and biochemical analyses are integrated by genetic, genomic and proteomic methods. These studies also intend to address fundamental questions in the cell biology of the host. One main question that we are focusing on is about the host mechanisms restricting S. Typhi from infecting non-susceptible hosts.
