Research Interest:
My laboratory studies bacterial physiology related to bacterial pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance. In our study, we use several model bacteria including Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Bacillus anthracis. Our current research is focused on identification and characterization of molecular mechanisms, used by bacterial pathogens to survive killing by host antibacterial molecules and to proliferate in nutrient-limited host environments.
