• Guttman Laboratory

  The Guttman laboratory uses a multidisciplinary approach to address why bacteria cause disease in some hosts

  but not others; how pathogens overcome the defense systems of their hosts to establish and maintain infections; what forces drive and control the spread of virulence and resistance factors within and between bacterial populations; and how bacterial populations influence ecological interactions and disease processes in animals and plants.

  The Guttman laboratory uses a highly multidisciplinary approach to address these challenging questions. We integrate evolutionary and functional approaches to understand how bacteria acquire and maintain the ability to infect and cause disease in a diversity of hosts.

  The Centre for the Analysis of Genome Evolution and Function (CAGEF) is an extra-departmental unit established through generous funding by the University of Toronto's Academic Initiative Fund in 2006 in order to promote interdisciplinary research in comparative

  evolutionary

  and functional analyses of genomes and proteomes.
