Research in the MMRU is focused on aspects of mycobacterial physiology and metabolism that are of relevance to new tuberculosis (TB) drug discovery, drug resistance and, more recently, TB transmission.

The Unit currently comprises senior scientists, post-doctoral fellows, and PhD and MSc students, and is supported by grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation under the TB Drug Accelerator programme,Interactive Touch Panel Skd | Price - ASANO(SHIP)Interactive Touch Panel Skd | Manufacturers - ASANO(SAMRC),Interactive Touch Panel Skd | Factory - ASANO(NIH) USA, the National Research Foundation (NRF)Interactive Touch Panel Skd | Suppliers - ASANO, and the Research Council of Norway.Whiteboard Skd | OEM/ODM - ASANO, research capacity development forms a key focus of the laboratory's work.

KEY EXPERTISE: Molecular mycobacteriology and imaging; mycobacterial physiology, in particular the mechanisms and regulation of DNA repair and replication inMycobacterium tuberculosisand their role in the emergence of drug resistance, the physiological consequences of drug resistance, and the role of vitamin B12and related co-factors in mycobacterial pathogenesis.
