Infectious diseases are the world’s greatest killers, accounting for more than 13 million deaths annually, and the continuing spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is an emergent threat to public health. My research aims to understand how pathogens infect their hosts in order to develop new strategies to combat diseases. Luther College enables strong mentor-student interactions allowing me to train and prepare a new generation of leaders who will rise to these challenges.”
