| Background: | Our lab is passionate about bringing creativity, science and technology to solve problems in global health. Members of our group have backgrounds in chemistry, biology, engineering, medicine, and biophysics—creating a rich, interdisciplinary and collaborative environment. We collaborate with clinical teams, industry, and other stakeholders to translate our research into impact. We use single-molecule technologies, mathematical modeling, microfluidics, microbiology, and clinical data to develop rapid diagnostics of phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility, focusing on the most urgent threats from the Centers for Disease Control. We are pursuing programs in rapid diagnostics of infectious diseases (including several COVID-19 related projects; see https://covid-study.caltech.edu/) and in understanding the interplay of food, gut microbes, and biophysics in human health. | ||||||||
| Description: | The opportunity is to work with a research mentor to learn the techniques and approaches, then own a small piece of the project, and then progress to running one's own project. | ||||||||
