All organisms develop strategies to protect themselves from attack by bacteria. In my laboratory, we are examining two distinctly different systems. In one case we are using earthworms as a model to study innate immunity and to examine the role normal microbes have in the health and wellbeing of the worms. In the second system, we are examining the defenses bacteria develop to protect themselves against biopreservatives produced by other bacteria.
Currently, I am involved in teaching in the area of microbiology: Immunology, Food Microbiology, and General Microbiology. I also set up internships for students with food companies to help prepare students for future careers. I also direct the Food Science Technology program and instruct in the Microbiology program
