Project:  Global Health projects
Discipline:  Multidisciplinary
Mentor:  Rustem Ismagilov, Professor, (CCE), rustem.admin@caltech.edu
AO Contact:  Natasha Shelby, tshelby@caltech.edu
Background:  Our lab is passionate about bringing creativity, science and technology to solve problems in global health. We are pursuing programs in rapid diagnostics of infectious diseases and in understanding the interplay of food, gut microbes, and biophysics in human 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.
