Research Interests
    A pathogenic microbiologist, I study iron transport and metabolism in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Most recently, we have published a paper* presenting evidence for the presence of periplasmic inclusion bodies in this organism when grown in a high iron-containing medium. The inclusion bodies contain iron and five hydroxy alkylquinolines, one of which is the Pseudomonas quinolone signaling compound.
