What type of work will researchers be doing at the UofL lab?
UofL scientists will work to determine which genes and proteins keep infectious diseases out of our bodies and which genes and proteins let them in. The lab’s top-of-the-line facilities, as well as new technologies that can be made available there such as genetic mapping, proteomic profiling and computer-based data mining, will help researchers ramp up their efforts to find ways of fighting infectious diseases.
