Postdoctoral Associate (Microbial Pathogenesis)
Biography
Dr. Kumar earned his Ph.D. in Life Science and Biotechnology from the Indian Institute of Chemical Biology at Jadavpur University. His work in the Liu Lab at Yale focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying host-pathogen interactions. Motor proteins play a crucial role in the assembly and function of bacterial secretion machinery and are highly conserved in various secretion systems, including type III (T3SS) and type IV (T4SS). Specifically, Dr. Kumar investigates the ATPase complex, a key motor protein in T3SS. His research aims to reveal the structure and exact function of this dynamic protein complex, providing valuable insights for the development of novel antibiotics.
