I am defining the mechanism of a novel C. difficile toxin and its role in pathogenesis. Outside of lab, I like to crochet and bop around to different thrift stores around the city.

I study the impact of H. pylori's oncoprotein on the host metabolic profile. Outside of the lab, I like to read, bake, hike and dance.

My research focuses on the enteric pathogen C. difficile and how it responds to limitation of nutritional metals during infection. Outside of lab, I love doing yoga and trying all the new restaurants in Nashville.

I am using light microscopy techniques to define the host immune response to the bacterial pathogen Bacillus anthracis. In my free time, I enjoy skiing and playing guitar. As you can imagine, I do more of the latter in Nashville.

I am studying how the staphylococcal abscess communities alter their metabolism to survive antibiotic treatment. In my free time, I like to stay active and be outdoors. I enjoy playing bleach volleyball and occasionally play in tournaments too.
