Welcome to the Vilhena Lab! Our lab investigates the dynamic interactions between Streptococcus pneumoniae and its environment, with a specific focus on the formation and function of bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs are not only essential for intercellular communication but also play crucial roles in infection and immune evasion. Investigating their biogenesis will facilitate downstream … Continue reading Junior Research Group: Bacterial Interface Dynamics – Vilhena lab
