However, Rosenthal and Presley Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics R. John Collier, who studies anthrax, cautioned that taking antibiotics without cause could also pose significant health risks...
Presley Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics R. John Collier, who has done research on the proteins that allow anthrax to infect cells, says that he has received about 25 calls from news organizations in the last few weeks...
...Collier published a scientific paper in this month’s issue of Nature Biotechnology in which he describes the ability of a protein he discovered to protect rats from anthrax infection. The protein blocks the anthrax toxin’s path into cells...
...work of Collier and another Harvard Medical School researcher, Assistant Professor of Genetics William F. Dietrich, focuses on the ways that anthrax enters and destroys cells. Although their research insights are still years away from having clinical benefits for humans, their work has illuminated the molecular aspects of the disease in a way that may eventually be used to fight...
Working with Mallinckrodt Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology George M. Whitesides, Collier bound multiple copies of the protein to a flexible backbone. The connected proteins block the toxin’s entrance into the cell. Separately, Collier has constructed a mutant protein that actually integrates itself into the pore that the toxin enters, blocking its action...
