Lecture Title: “Toxins, toxins, everywhere: Turning foe into friend”
Bacterial protein toxins have played a myriad of fundamental roles in basic and clinical microbiology, from their first discovery as causes of disease to their implementation as tools for understanding cell biology. Toxin-like modules are being identified in an ever-growing number of bacterial genomes. The toxin field is now poised to harness information from their evolutionary relationships and to exploit their modular natures to begin using them for beneficial therapeutic applications as immunomodulators, anti-cancer treatments, treatments for neuronal disorders, biologic cargo-delivery platforms, and many still untapped potential applications.
