Signal Transduction Pathways controlling Embryo Development

I aim to develop a more simple and genetically stable bacterial strain for use in synthetic biology.

I study the extracellular signaling activity of ISG15. We are interested in how ISG15 works with its receptor LFA-1 to stimulate cytokine re
