Welcome to theimslab.com

We are a young lab interested in antibiotic resistance and infection biology combining molecular biology, cryoEM and general microbiology approaches

We focus on MRSA: Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

We are interested in understanding staphylococcal pathogenesis. Specifically we study gene expression and DNA replication using staphylococcal bacteriophages and other mobile genetic elements involved in antimicrobial resistance. Additionally, we are interested in phage therapy as an alternative to antibiotics or as coadyuvants.

We moved the lab!

We continue our exciting research in Barcelona

The lab is located at

Barcelona Scientific Park - University of Barcelona

The lab is located in the Barcelona Scientific Park, a vibrant and dynamic environment. An enormous variety of centers, institutes, and companies share this scientific hub to interact, collaborate and share resources.
