The contribution of master regulator RocA to group A Streptococcus pathogenesis

Nicola's Fellowship will focus on the role of the bacterial regulator RocA in the pathogenesis of Streptococcus pyogenes, in order to better understand the virulence mechanisms of this important human pathogen. To achieve this she will join laboratories at Harvard Medical School and Imperial College London, and will commence her research at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine at the University of Oxford.
