Welcome to the DK Morales Lab!
While motility allows some bacteria to access food and colonize new niches, non-motile species must adopt unconventional mechanisms to carry out those tasks.
Our laboratory is dedicated to uncovering the molecular and metabolic programs that enable non-motile pathobionts to penetrate surfaces, disseminate, and cause disease.
Join us in exploring these microbial strategies and discovering new methods to address infectious diseases.
