Microbial Cooperation Lab

Welcome to the Smith Lab

We are interested in developing new ways to break up microbial cooperation to limit microbial pathogenesis, antibiotic resistance and additional harmful microbial behaviors.

Cooperative antibiotic resistance

How can we develop novel approaches to attenuate antibiotic resistance in the post-antibiotic era?

Disrupting cell-cell communication

Can we disrupt microbial communication to slow pathogenesis?


Host-microbe interactions

Can we manipulate host-microbe interactions to improve human health?


Current and past members

Student success in the lab and beyond is a critical piece to my mentorship approach.
