Nathan Fisher Principal Investigator It's really not about me. But if you can't resist, look here. 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. 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. Sanjivni Sinha Undergraduate I am studying how non-commensal opportunistic pathogens avoid destruction by the environmental amoeba Dictyostelium.
