Alessandro Foti

Alessandro Foti serves as a Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, conducting research in the Zychlinsky Lab under Arturo Zychlinsky's leadership. His position is integral to the institute's focus on pathogen-host interactions and infection mechanisms.

His research spans Cellular Microbiology and Infection Biology, emphasizing molecular pathways of bacterial invasion, host cell manipulation, and immune evasion strategies. This work bridges microbiology, cell biology, and immunology to dissect infectious disease processes at subcellular levels.

The Zychlinsky Lab operates as a specialized unit within the institute's Cellular Microbiology division, renowned for pioneering studies on neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and bacterial countermeasures against host defenses.
