B.S., Microbiology, 2009, The University of Arizona Research: Francisella tularensis is a facultative intracellular pathogen and the causitive agent of tularemia. The focus of my research is to investigate molecular mechanisms of prostaglandin E2 induction in macrophages infected with F. tularensis. Furthermore, I am interested in how activation of the arachidonic acid pathway aids in F. tularensis host immune evasion.
