SIXT LAB

The Sixt Lab is located at the Department of Molecular Biology at Umeå University. It is part of the Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS). MIMS constitutes the Swedish node of the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine, which was established to facilitate scientific collaboration between the partner institutes, as well as access to scientific infrastructure. MIMS is also part of the multidisciplinary Umeå Centre for Microbial Research (UCMR). Taken together, the Sixt Lab is embedded in a highly stimulating, collaborative, and international research environment with excellent access to modern research facilities... The Sixt lab strives to uncover the hid den protective potential of pathogen-suppressed cellular defense programs, to identify the mo lecular determinants of host de fense and pathogenic countermeasures, and to find means to disturb their balance to the ben efit of the host. We thereby aim to advance our understanding of molecular determinants of..
