Fowler Lab

WHAT WE DO

The Fowler lab studies bacterial evolution and how bacterial pathogens cause disease. We are broadly interested in these topics, but much of our research focuses on the globally-important pathogen Salmonella enterica, particularly the human-adapted serovar Salmonella Typhi.

Some topics of special interest to our lab include:

⦿ Salmonella pathogenesis
⦿ Dissecting the differences between different Salmonella species/serovars/strains
⦿ Bacterial toxins
⦿ How bacteria evolve to sense and respond to new niches
⦿ Two-component regulatory systems
⦿ The application of bacteria or bacterial products for biomedical of industrial applications
