Amilcar J. Perez studies how bacteria build and remodel their cell walls, focusing on the enzymes and protein complexes that construct the wall during cell division. This work often uses advanced imaging techniques such as single-molecule microscopy to watch these molecular machines at work in bacteria like E. coli. Understanding these processes is relevant to how bacteria grow and could inform the development of antibacterial strategies.
