Biography

I am interested in the contributions of specific Salmonella Typhimurium populations to intestinal pathogenesis. We use an acute colitis mouse model of infection to look at intestinal colonization and gut inflammation, and a chronic mouse model of infection to assess persistence, fecal shedding, and transmission.
