Congrats, Dr. Burmudez!

Who: Tomas Burmudez, PhD

Department: Pathology, Microbiology, Immunology

PI Mentor: Maria Hadjifrangiskou

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.
