研究领域
Chemical Biology/Organic Chemistry/Analytical & Bioanalytical Chemistry
Given the dearth of new antibacterial drugs and the facile evolution of microbial resistance, some fear that we have entered the “post-antibiotic era.” The Carlson Group unites tools from chemistry and biology to promote the development and application of technologies that will contribute to our understanding of new strategies for treatment of bacterial infections and the discovery of efficacious compounds. We are pursuing three complementary research directions: 1) Protein Function – design and application of chemical probes for characterization of the cellular targets of existing antibacterial agents, the penicillin-binding proteins, to advance our understanding of the biochemical pathways implicated in bacterial growth and pathogenicity; 2) Target Exploration – generation of methods for the investigation and inhibition of histidine kinases, proteins involved in bacterial development, virulence and antibiotic resistance, which remains difficult due to the lack of practical tools or a detailed understanding of protein-ligand interactions; 3) Molecule Discovery – development of strategies to dramatically expand our ability to explore natural product chemical space, with the goal of identifying privileged structures and novel antibacterial agents. We are constructing a toolkit of functional group-specific tags to facilitate compound isolation and a platform that combines mass spectrometry and informatics to assist in the detection of novel extract components and accelerate the structure elucidation process.
Projects in Dr. Carlson's research group are highly multidisciplinary and members will gain expertise in many areas of chemistry such as organic synthesis, mass spectrometry, proteomics, metabolomics, microscopy and molecular modeling. In addition, members will utilize biological techniques from the fields of biochemistry, cell biology and genetics.
