Joseph E. Sanfilippo studies how bacteria respond to fluid flow, examining the way shear forces shape bacterial growth, surface attachment, movement, and vulnerability to antibiotics and chemical stress. Much of the work focuses on the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, using microfluidic devices to observe how flow influences biofilm formation, nutrient delivery, and antimicrobial effectiveness.
