Newton Laboratory
Pathogenesis of Intracellular Bacteria
Welcome to the Newton Lab
Our research is focussed on uncovering the strategies used by intracellular bacterial pathogens to replicate inside host cells and manipulate human cell biology.
We're part of the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute, and a member of the Infection Program, and the Department of Microbiology.

Our research
Our research aims to create new knowledge in host-pathogen interactions driven by intracellular bacterial pathogens. Our team addresses how these pathogens can replicate inside eukaryotic cells and the different host pathways they manipulate to achieve this. We are particularly interested in pathogens, of both humans and animals, that use secretion systems to inject bacterial proteins, termed effectors, into the host cell. These effectors hijack different pathways in the host cell to allow the bacteria to replicate and cause disease.
