Morwan Osman

Morwan Osman is a Research Associate in Mycobacterial Structural Biology at the University of York, working within the York Structural Biology Laboratory. They collaborate with Dr. Jamie Blaza to investigate the interaction between antibiotics and the oxidative phosphorylation systems of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Education:

• PhD in Molecular & Cellular Biology, University of Washington (2018)

Morwan's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, particularly how its ESX-1 secretion system contributes to host immune evasion and virulence. Their work integrates microbiology, structural biology, and biophysical techniques to address antibiotic resistance and host-pathogen interactions.

Selected Publications span structural biology, microbiology, and molecular mechanisms, highlighting research on bacterial secretion systems, drug action, and membrane dynamics in mycobacteria. Notable subfields include host-pathogen interactions, antibiotic resistance, and biophysics.

Collaborations include work with Professor Lalita Ramakrishnan (University of Washington and University of Cambridge) and Dr. Jamie Blaza (University of York).
