Welcome to the Ortega Lab

Welcome to the Ortega Lab, situated in the heart of Montreal at the Strathcona Anatomy Building within McGill University's Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology. McGill, a leading research institution in Canada, hosts various research groups delving into diverse topics such as bacterial antimicrobial resistance, cell division mechanisms, protein transport, sorting, and cancer development.

Specializing in electron microscopy, our lab concentrates on unraveling the structure and functions of essential bacterial enzymes. These enzymes serve as promising targets for novel antimicrobial agents, potentially offering innovative solutions that are resilient to existing resistance mechanisms. Despite the challenges posed by the intricacies of biological systems, our dedicated team strives to gain in-depth insights into these enzymes for the advancement of antimicrobial research.
