2021 SACNAS Graduate Student Oral Presentation Award (Dominguez)
Sedelia Dominguez Washington State University Pullman, WA F. tularensis exploits AMPK activation to acquire host-derived nutrients Francisella tularensis, a highly virulent bacterial pathogen, causes tularemia in humans. In humans, tularemia leads to acute infections, but chronic infections result in bacteremia and have a high chance of being fatal. With a low infectious dose and potential […]
2021 SACNAS Graduate Student Oral Presentation Award (Lopes Fischer)
Natasha Lopes Fischer University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA A Coxiella burnetii bacterial protein suppresses host NF-kB signalling Host immune cells use multiple strategies to detect and protect against microbial infections. Signalling pathways activated during infection play a central role in the innate immune response, as they enable the host cell to upregulate several antimicrobial programs. […]
