Research summary

Sandeep K. Ravala's research focuses on how proteins in mycobacteria (a group of bacteria that includes the species causing tuberculosis) are regulated through chemical modifications like phosphorylation, which can turn enzyme activity up or down. This work examines enzymes such as guanylate kinase and sirtuins to understand how bacteria control their internal biochemical processes, which could have relevance to understanding bacterial survival and potentially to future drug development. The lab has shown a marked increase in publication output in the past two years after a period of lower activity.

Publication output was low and sporadic through most of the last decade but increased sharply in 2023 and 2024, suggesting recently growing research activity.
