Microbe-Host Interactions Graduate Program
Byndloss Lab
I study how the metabolic capacity of Salmonella typhimurium dsitinguishes it from other Enterobacteriaceae members and serves as a strategy to regulate its life cycle. My favorite hobby is going on long walks or swims at Percy Priest Lake with my dog.
I grew up in Southern Indiana and graduated from Indiana University Bloomington in 2022 with a B.S. in Microbiology and a minor in epidemiology.
Research Information
In the Byndloss lab, I study microbiome-mediated regulation of S. Typhimurium intestinal invasion. I use a combination of in vitro methods and mouse models to answer questions about Salmonella pathogenesis and gut health.
