Dr. Megan Keller, graduate of the Doerr Lab, was awarded the CHIMID Fellowship, which offers postdoctoral scholars financial and professional development support to study host-microbe interactions. The Cornell Institute of Host-Microbe Interactions and Disease (CIHMID) is composed of researchers representing multiple departments and colleges at Cornell University, united in the common pursuit of understanding host-microbe biology. This fellowship, which is supported by a National Institutes of Health training grant, encourages collaborations across multiple Cornell labs and fosters intellectual independence in research that spans various disciplines. Dr. Keller’s research will focus on repurposing antibiotics into new combinational therapy for treating clinical infections. By understanding how our modern antibiotics alter the bacterial metabolism and nucleotide production, she aims to create effective treatments for antibiotic resistant diseases.
