Research: I have studied how common and novel routes to fosfomycin resistance in uropathogenic E. coli affect how well the pathogen can cause infection in the host.
Vanderbilt Impact:
“IMSD was a fantastic resource that really helped me adapt to the graduate school environment after college. My training grant organization (CBMS) was amazing and really helped me practice my presentation skills as I progressed on my projects.”
Post-PhD Plans: I am starting a clinical microbiology fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center this summer.
