Campylobacter jejuni chemotaxis and metabolism of fucose
Dr. Jolene Garber Post-Doctoral Fellow, University of British Columbia Okanagan & Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada
Dr. Jolene Garber recently completed her PhD in Microbiology, focusing on understanding carbohydrate sensing and metabolism by the gastrointestinal pathogen Campylobacter jejuni and its implications on human infections, particularly in the context of breastfeeding. She is now beginning her postdoctoral work examining the roles of carbohydrate metabolism and mucin modification in infections by Clostridium perfringens, a causative agent of necrotic enteritis in poultry.
