Title: Targeting Tuberculosis Adaptive (Mis)Translation as an Anti-Virulence Strategy
Speaker: Babak Javid, PhD, Associate Professor, Division of Experimental Medicine, UCSF
Topic:
Rather than purely performing essential housekeeping functions, regulation of the protein synthesis machinery in bacterial pathogens contributes to critical adaptive functions. I will discuss how regulation of the stochastic error rate in protein synthesis in mycobacteria contributes to both antibiotic and host tolerance and potential ways to target this conserved pathway.
