Adolf Shapiro's interpretation asks the question, where would the characters of this play live today years after their cherry orchard has been cut down? The answer, which lies in the material world created by set designer, David Borovsky, is, of course, on the stage. A century later, this production brings The Cherry Orchard full circle, with its wandering band of characters never at peace, but finally back home.

Simulations of these systems show altered dynamic properties, suggest the possibility of protein native state destabilization due to protein-protein and protein-metabolite interactions, altered solvent and metabolite behavior, and non-specific interactions between functionally related enzymes as a result of crowding.

The pathogenic lifestyle of this bacterium depends on an arsenal of virulence factors that blunt the host immune response to promote bacterial growth and tissue damage. One class of virulence factors is the bi-component leukocidins. These toxins forms pores primarily in immune cells, often resulting in cell death. In this seminar I will discuss our recent discoveries of how these toxins selectively target cells and the contribution of the toxins to infection in murine models of bloodstream infection.
