Dr. Wade’s research focuses on processes involving nucleic acids in bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Current areas of interest include transcription regulation, mechanisms of translation initiation, small protein function, and CRISPR-Cas immunity. Much of Dr. Wade’s research involves genome-scale and high-throughput approaches that use next-generation sequencing.
