The goal of this research is to understand how the Rv2623 protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterial pathogen that causes tuberculosis, regulates growth of this bacterium in an infected person, including in the context of the development of a dormant/latent infection, with the ultimate goal of designing novel treatment for tuberculous infection.
