Research summary
AI-generated

Ho-Ching Tiffany Tsui studies the molecular biology of bacteria, with a particular focus on Streptococcus pneumoniae, a bacterium that causes pneumonia and other infections. The research examines how bacteria build and repair their cell walls, divide, and regulate proteins, including the roles of enzymes and signaling molecules that make these processes work. Much of this has direct relevance to understanding antibiotic action (such as penicillin) and bacterial defenses against the host immune system.
