Virulence Mechanisms of P. aeruginosa
After my MS studies, I worked as a molecular biologist RA in Dr. Arne Rietsch's lab at Case Western Reserve University.
During this time, I led the project on investigating the impact of the sCRE recombinant system in P. aeruginosa, an opportunistic gram-negative bacteria, in established cornea infections. I was also involved in other lab projects including their current phage pathogenesis project, formation of the bacteria's Type III secretion system, and other crucial protein interactions responsible for pathogen virulence. |
