Research

Non-coding RNAs play important regulatory roles in all domains of life. The group aims to understand the role of ncRNAs and RNA binding proteins (RBPs) in the context of bacterial infections, with the goal to use this knowledge for targeted manipulation of the human microbiota. The current four main areas of research in the Vogel lab are: i) discovery of novel functional RNAs in microbes, which includes work on the cancer-associated bug Fusobacterium nucleatum; ii) characterization of and screens for bacterial RNA-binding proteins; iii) new RNA-seq methods for infection biology, including single-cell RNA-seq of eukaryotic and bacterial cells; iv) antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-based antibiotics for precision editing of the human microbiome and complex microbial communities.
