Puhar Lab

We study gut bacteria and the immune response to infection with a focus on the danger signal extracellular ATP. We particularly like Shigella and E. coli. Located at Queen's University Belfast, UK and Umeå University, Sweden.
Our first effort exploring gut bacteria-extracellular ATP interactions is published! We show that eATP rewires gene expression and physiology in harmless and pathogenic bacteria, impacting production of bioactive metabolites, antimicrobial sensitivity, and virulence. A 🧵

We had the pleasure to host Molly Ingersoll and Nassos @typaslab.bsky.social at the Fraser Symposium in Infection Biology 2025 at @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social .
The day was a delight, except for the Belfast weather (don’t trust the photo!).
Stay tuned for next year's symposium announcement!
