Research area

• NSF calls:
  • EAGER
  • International Supplements
• Keywords:

  interactomics; proteomics; intermolecular interactions; microbiology; fungi

• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  Our group specializes in studying the physicochemical basis of intermolecular interactions with the specific focus on the protein-protein interaction analysis with surface plasmon resonance measurements (SPR), biolayer interferometry (BLI), ELISA and ELLSA tests, fluorescence anisotropy, together with mass spectrometry, high-performance liquid chromatography, fluorescence microscopy, gene expression analysis and production of recombinant proteins. We have experience in the study of polymicrobial biofilms under aerobic and anaerobic conditions with an emphasis on the effect of various molecules, including those produced by bacteria, products of natural origin, as well as antibacterial and antifungal drugs, on the fungal filamentation, microbial adhesion, mixed biofilm formation, production of biofilm extracellular matrix, and extracellular vesicles secretion. Our research concerns also investigating the influence of interkingdom microbial complexes on the inflammatory response of human primary cells, cell lines and air-liquid interface 3D culture system, as well as using invertebrate model of microbial infections.

• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  We would like to cooperate in research on interactomics and proteomics of microbial contacts in mixed communities, in the environment and during host-pathogen interactions.
