We study undergraduate research experiences and inclusive education for under served groups, including students with disabilities and transfer students.
We study undergraduate research experiences and inclusive education for under served groups, including students with disabilities and transfer students.
Population genomics and evolution of pathogenic bacteria, antimicrobial resistance, genomic epidemiology, precision diagnostic.
The rules of microbial community formation to restore and engineer beneficial communities for crops under climate stress and human disease states.
Our work focuses on understanding the regulation of cell envelope biosynthesis in bacteria using genetic, biochemical, and cell biological approaches.
Our lab seeks to uncover novel regulatory mechanisms of biofilm formation to undermine bacterial survival in chronic infections.
High throughput genetics to better understand evolution of fungal pathogens and drive antifungal drug discovery.
Bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, dynamics of bacterial nanomachines, microbial subcellular organization.
A bacterial pathogenesis/food safety lab that specializes in the detection and characterization of pathogens from food animal sources that impact human and animal health.
We use genetic and genomic approaches to understand mechanisms of fungal pathogenesis and drug resistance.
Molecular epidemiology of bacterial pathogens using metagenomics; ecology of Salmonella serovars in host animals and environments.
