Network Pathobiology: Investigating Connections between Host, Pathogen and Drugs

Ma Lab

We combine computational and experimental network biology approaches to understand the molecular interactions that determine infection and treatment fate in tuberculosis. We will use these insights to inform the engineering of therapies that are safer, more effective, and harder for the pathogen to evade.

Understanding Molecular Interactions

Learn about how we are harnessing network biology to understand the mechanisms underlying drug response in both the host and the pathogen and to engineer interventions that improve infection outcomes.

Tuberculosis Bacterium’s Cellular Signaling System Plays Key Role in its Biology

April 28, 2023 – Seattle Children’s TB researchers and colleagues uncovered complex microbial protein activity, potentially pointing to new drug targets.

Our Collaborations

We have multiple local and national collaborations focused on understanding tuberculosis infection and drug response.
