Research Profile

Cellular microbiology focuses on the host cell responses elicited by interactions with microorganisms. Recent and ongoing research in my laboratory includes culture- and non-culture-based discovery of new bacterial pathogens and commensals from clinical specimens; experimental infection studies and epidemiology; bacterial genome sequencing and annotation; molecular analysis of bacterial virulence mechanisms; comparative immunology; CD44, CD95, and TLR signaling in pro-apoptotic and inflammatory responses to bacterial infection; and genome-based predictive modeling of pathogen evolution.
