Drs. Derbyshire and Gray have backgrounds in prokaryotic and human molecular biology respectively, and now we combine our expertise and enthusiasm in deciphering the molecular biology of mycobacteria. We use the genetically amenable Mycobacterium…

   Todd Gray, PhDTodd likes to dream up new areas of investigation, and tinkers at the bench just enough to give those projects an initial push before handing them off. He enjoys the relative ease of Mycobacterium smegmatis as a…

Distributive Conjugal Transfer We have described a novel DNA transfer system in M. smegmatis that involves the transfer of chromosomal DNA between defined donor and recipient strains. The transconjugant genomes are a mosaic blend of the…

Video Gallery ESX-1 primarily associates with the old “non-septal” pole. M. smegmatis cells expressing a fusion of msmeg0046::yfp were imaged every 10 mins in a heated growth chamber. The fluorescent fusion…

The Tissue Resources Program oversees all tissue banking activities and services provided in New York State, from donor solicitation to clinical use. Regulations also include requirements for facilities (Non-Transplant Anatomic Banks) that…

Research InterestsWe are interested in studying the molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance. Mycobacterium abscessus, is a rapidly emerging nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in patients with cystic fibrosis and underlying lung damage is…

Current MembersPallavi Ghosh, Ph.D., Principal Investigator Kelley Hurst-Hess, Research Scientist: Kelley uses high throughput transcriptomic analysis to identify changes in gene expression upon antibiotic exposure. She then uses…
