The Ottemann lab works to understand the mechanisms by which chronic pathogens colonize, persist, and cause disease. We use Helicobacter pylori as a model. We have strong expertise in a key bacterial ability, chemotactic signal transduction. Our lab promotes a diverse, collaborative, friendly, inclusive, and respectful environment that fosters the development of first-rate scientists.

The Ottemann Lab is at the University of California in the Department of Microbiology and Environmental Toxicology.
