What We're Planning The best way to find out what experiments we're planning is to read our grant proposals. Here are links to the last two proposals we submitted to CIHR (The Canadian Institutes for Health Research, the Canadian equivalent of NIH). The first proposal aims to investigate the mechanism of DNA uptake; its title is "How does Haemophilus influenzae take up DNA?".  We have just submitted this proposal and are starting to gather preliminary data for this. Summary of uptake proposal Complete uptake proposal The second proposal addresses the role of the Sxy transcriptional activator, considering both how the sxy gene is regulated and how the Sxy protein works with CRP to activate genes with CRP-S sites in their promoters. Its title is "Regulation of CRP-S promoters in H. influenzae and E. coli.".  This proposal was successfully funded in 2007. We are currently pursuing most of the goals outlined in this proposal.
