Studying host-pathogen interactions during infection with Campylobacter species
Our laboratory uses cutting-edge omics-based technologies, in combination with traditional cellular and molecular approaches, to understand the bacterial and host factors that contribute to the transmissibility, infectivity, and pathogenicity of Campylobacter species. These bacterial pathogens are drastically understudied relative to their impacts on global health, which is impeding efforts to counteract human infections and disease. As such, our goal is to leverage the data from our studies to inform the development of new strategies to limit human infections and mitigate disease.
The Johnson Laboratory is committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of inclusion and connectedness since we believe that we learn and conduct better research as a diverse team of scientists. The collective differences, life experiences, knowledge, innovation, self-expression, and talent that we invest in our work represents an important part of our culture and reputation. In recruiting for our team and establishing collaborations, we welcome the unique contributions that others can bring in terms of their education, opinions, culture, ethnicity, race, sex, gender identity and expression, nation of origin, age, languages spoken, veteran’s status, color, religion, disability, sexual orientation and beliefs.
