Dawn Doetkott Lab Manager Enter Bio here Laura Nessa Research Assistant Enter Bio here Osama Mahdi Graduate Student I am a Ph.D. student in Molecular Pathogenesis studying phagocytosis evasion by non-commensal opportunistic pathogens. Yayra Domfeh Graduate Student I am a M.S. student in Microbiology studying cell envelope stress responses in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Elliott Welker Graduate Student I am a Ph.D. student in Genomics and Bioinformatics studying biofilm formation by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Maria Cardenas Graduate Student I am a Ph.D. student in Molecular Pathogenesis studying colonization of mucosal surfaces by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and other non-commensal opportunistic pathogens. I am currently using a C. elegans assay to analyze mucosal colonization in an ecologically relevant system. blank Bridget Eklund Undergraduate I am studying the effects of antibiotics on Stenotrophomonas maltophilia biofilm formation. blank Ben Martin Undergraduate I am studying spore formation and germination of various Paenibacillus species. blank Sanjivni Sinha Undergraduate I am studying how non-commensal opportunistic pathogens avoid destruction by the environmental amoeba Dictyostelium.
