Welcome to the Yu laboratory @USF!

The Yu lab at the
University of South Florida kicked off in January of
2019. As a microbiology laboratory, the overall goals
of the Yu lab are to:
To achieve our goals, we are
focusing on performing cutting edge research
projects and providing rigorous training programs.
The research in the Yu lab studies the biology of
bacterial cell envelope in the human pathogen Staphylococcus
aureus. Broadly, we are interested in
understanding (a) the dynamics of cell envelope
assembly during bacterial growth and cell division,
and (b) functions of cell envelope dynamics in
bacterial physiology and pathogenesis. To address
the research questions, we use a variety of
experimental approaches such as genetics,
microscopy, biochemistry as well as animal models.
Currently we are investigating the secretion and
localization of surface proteins in S. aureus. Please
see “Research” page for details.
