معرفی
Eli Cohen is a Research Fellow in the Department of Life Sciences at Imperial College London's Faculty of Natural Sciences. His work focuses on microbiology, immunology, and medical microbiology, with a particular emphasis on bacterial cell envelope structures, flagellar motility mechanisms, and molecular interactions in bacterial systems.
Research interests include understanding how bacteria regulate cell shape, flagellar assembly, and membrane-associated processes. His studies employ advanced structural techniques like cryo-electron microscopy (CryoEM) to visualize molecular machinery in situ, revealing insights into protein adaptations and evolutionary strategies.
Recent work highlights discoveries in Campylobacterota flagellar evolution, outer membrane porin-lipoprotein complexes, and the structural basis of bacterial motility. These studies bridge microbiology, structural biology, and molecular genetics to address fundamental questions in microbial physiology.
Publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, analyzing flagellar motor mechanics, cell envelope biogenesis, and secretion systems. Eli's research contributes to understanding bacterial pathogenesis and cellular processes at the nanoscale.
