RESEARCH ABSTRACT SUMMARY:
Transcription, the first step in gene expression, is the step at which most regulation of gene expression occurs. Richard Ebright's lab seeks to understand the structure, function, and regulation of transcription complexes and to identify and characterize inhibitors of bacterial transcription for use as potential antibacterial agents.
