Heather Feaga

The Feaga lab is focused on how bacteria maintain protein synthesis capacity under stress. We aim to identify factors that interact with the ribosome and prevent stalling, and to understand the impact of ribosome stalling on cell physiology. In particular, we are interested in how bacteria sense and responds to translation stress during developmental processes such as sporulation and germination.
