🔬 Lab Spotlight: Anand Research Group 🔬

Today, we’re highlighting the cutting-edge research at the Division of Bacterial Energetics from the Anand Research Group 🌟

Led by Prof. Dr. Amitesh Anand from *Tata Institute of Fundamental Sciences*, the lab explores bioenergetics, bacterial metabolism, and host-pathogen interactions!✨

🔬 Key Research Areas: 🔬

Design Principles of Bioenergetics:
The lab leverages genetic engineering and adaptive evolution to study various subunits of energetic systems, optimizing their function below maximal capacity.🔍🔬

Energy Metabolism and Pathogenicity:
Aiming to uncover critical pathophysiological mechanisms, the lab examines how bacterial respiration adapts during infections.🧬🦠

Energetics in Multicellular Organizations:
By using synthetic bacterial communities, the lab investigates how energy metabolism affects community structuring in multicellular setups.📊🔬

Host-Pathogen Interaction Fundamentals:
With ex-vivo infection models and omics approaches, the lab focuses on how bacterial energy metabolism shapes interactions between pathogens and hosts.📈🧪
