About Us
We are passionate about understanding host-pathogen interactions important to systemic bacterial infections and battling the antimicrobial resistance crisis. Our research focuses on the pathogenesis of Gram-negative bloodstream infections, and understanding how species like Klebsiella pneumoniae cause bacteremia and sepsis. We seek to define how the immune system controls K. pneumoniae infection and how bacteria evade this stress in return.ย
๐The lab is recruiting at all levels! Please contact Caity for more information.
