Research areas
-
Cell surface proteins as putative tissue adhesins, and toxins of wound pathogens (c.f staphylococci) and the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori with special reference to sialogycoconjugates and glycosaminoglycans (CTAG) as receptor molecules on cells and in extracellular matrix (ECM)
-
Molecular interactions of gastrointestinal microbes (e.g. Lactobacilli) with gastric and intestinal mucosa.
-
Development of new immuno- and DNA based methods for diagnosis of these infections, including Polymerase Chain reaction for detection of Helicobacter pylori in gastric biopsies, saliva, stools, food, and water.
-
Development of staphylococcal vaccine and new methods to prevent biomaterial associated and wound infections with these and other pathogens,
Grants
Held a Medical Research Council grant since 1969, and from the Board for Technical Development (STU/NUTEK) since 1975 to develop immunoassays and rapid diagnostics for staphylococci and interotoxigenic E. coli. Grant from the Board for Industrial Foundation together with Martin Lindberg and Magnus Höök to develop a staphylococcal vaccine, EU grant in Biomed I "The ageing human stomach", coordinator F Mégraud, Bordeaux 1995-9. New application planned to Biomed.
