Welcome to the Mamou lab​

The Mamou lab is the home of bacterial cell envelope research. A place where people enjoy studying the mechanisms constructing the cell’s protective shell. We explore how these mechanisms coordinate the biogenesis of new envelope components and investigate their role in bacterial resilience and antibiotic resistance. ​

Join us!​

We are looking for enthusiastic PhD, MSc and undergraduate students. The most important skill required is curiosity! ​

We love to study the cell biology of bacteria because they are such a versatile and interesting organism capable of doing almost everything. We also like to visualize them using advanced microscopy techniques. So if you like bacteria, interested in looking closely at the mechanisms of envelope biogenesis and want to work in a friendly group, please contact us here gideon.mamou@mail.huji.ac.il.
