I am interested in the host-pathogen interactions of bacteria and their phages. In graduate school, I studied how phages use anti-CRISPRs to protect themselves from the bacterial CRISPR-Cas immune system.

The connection between alginate regulation and anti-CRISPR: Q&A with Dr. Adair Borges This week, Capsid & Tail's volunteer editor Dr. Rohit Kongari talks to UCSF's Dr. Adair Borges about the unexpected connection she's uncovered between phage anti-CRISPRs and the Pseudomonas alginate pathway. 75.May 15, 2020Rohit Kongari, Adair Borges
