Dr. Daley’s research integrates biochemistry, molecular biology, and advanced imaging techniques to study Gram-negative bacteria. His work on the divisome revealed its concentric ring structure via super-resolution microscopy, while his studies on chaperones like YfgM uncovered their roles in protein trafficking and substrate identification. His team also pioneered methods for optimizing protein production through translation initiation region engineering and codon substitution strategies.
Key themes in his publications include:
- Cell division mechanics (divisome dynamics, FtsZ/FtsN separation)
- Protein folding and trafficking (YfgM substrates, SecYEG translocon)
- Biotechnological tools (TARSyn, CRISPRi validation)
- Membrane protein production (codon optimization, translation initiation)
