Postdoctoral Fellow

The petitioner proposes to continue research in microbiology focused on discovering antimicrobial agents and elucidating their mechanisms to combat multidrug-resistant bacteria. The work involves developing phage therapies, nanoparticle-drug hybrids, and innovative antimicrobial delivery systems to replace or augment conventional antibiotics. This endeavor aims to address the global healthcare emergency of antibiotic resistance and improve drug treatment efficacy.

The petitioner proposes to continue research on developing advanced metabolomics and multiomics tools to comprehensively characterize the gut microbiome. This work focuses on creating pioneering live biotherapeutic drugs to target infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.

The petitioner proposes to continue her research in pathogenic biology, specifically focusing on the interaction between bacteria and the host. Her work aims to address pressing global health issues, including the treatment and management of severe bacterial infections.

The petitioner proposes to continue her research in biomedical science, specifically focusing on advancing the understanding of mechanisms behind deadly diseases such as cholera, Salmonella, and COVID-19. Her work involves characterizing complex factors in antibiotic production and resistance to accelerate the development of novel, therapeutically effective antibiotics. The research aims to mitigate the threat of bacterial infections and minimize the prevalence and mortality of infectious diseases in the United States.
