Lipids and infection biology

The Eijkelkamp Lab is based at Flinders University (South Australia) and studies lipids in diverse biological settings using an array of complementary techniques.

Lipid biochemistry | Molecular biology | Microscopy | Analytical chemistry | Flow cytometry

Theme 1

Bacterial adaptation via compositional, biophysical and functional changes in the microbial membrane.

Theme 2

The impact of host nutrition and metabolism on bacterial pathogenesis and infection severity.

Theme 3

Lipid intervention strategies to modulate microbial behaviours.
