The Lac operon is a group of three genes that encode for enzymes necessary to break down lactose. The lac operon is inducible, which means that it has the ability to be turned on and off by certain signals. This property makes the lac operon an interesting model system for studying gene regulation, as well as a promising target for drug design.

If you would like more information about our work with antibiotics, We examine how they affect bacteria using the Lac Operon as well as other labs tools. We are also interested in finding ways to modify drugs so they only combat bacterial infections without harming humans. Our ultimate goal is to find new treatments against antibiotic-resistant strains such as MRSA.
