Understanding the molecular arms race between microbes and their viral predators using structural and biochemical approaches
Nate Burman, a former Carroll grad, will describe his ongoing PhD research in the Wiedenheft lab at Montana State University. His project is focused on understanding the molecular arms race between microbes and their viral predators using structural and biochemical approaches. In particular, Nate will discuss the structure and function of PARIS, a
prokaryotic immune system, which was recently published in Nature.
