Research Description:
The major areas of study in my laboratory involve Vibrio vulnificus and other pathogenic marine Vibrio spp., Helicobacter pylori, the “viable but nonculturable” state, and bacterial stress responses and their relationship to survival and virulence. We are currently studying the various genotypes of Vibrio vulnificus, and how we can use bioinformatics to understand differences in their virulence and physiological ecology.
