Dirk Linke

Academic Interests
My research group focusses on the structure and function of the bacterial cell surface. Currently, we work on three main topics:
- Bacterial Adhesion: How do bacteria stick to surfaces, or in the case of pathogens, to host cells?
- Membrane transport: how are adhesion molecules transported to the cell surface? And can this process be inhibited with novel antimicrobial substances?
- Vaccines and Biomarkers: can we exploit bacterial surface proteins as vaccine candidates or as biomarkers, e.g. for improved clinical diagnostics?
Our work is typically comparative – we do not work on a single pathogenic “pet” organism, but instead compare related surface proteins from different species, studying their similarities and subtle differences. Our work is also interdisciplinary – we use methods from bioinformatics, structural biology and biophysics on top of classical methods from microbiology, molecular biology and biochemistry.
