  Division of Geographic Medicine and Infectious Disease Project title: Host-pathogen interactions in Borrelia burgdorferi, agent of Lyme disease. Employed colony PCR and qPCR to identify novel adhesins expressed by B. burgdorferi in phage display screen. Elucidated signaling cascades initiated after Borrelia membrane protein binds mammalian integrin avb3 in early stages of infection using immunoblots and microarray analysis.
