Kevin M. Mason studies how bacteria that cause respiratory and ear infections, especially nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae, interact with the human immune system and evade host defenses. His work looks at bacterial survival strategies, such as nutrient transport systems and resistance to antimicrobial peptides, as well as diseases like otitis media (middle ear infection) and pneumonia. This research could interest students interested in host-pathogen interactions, bacterial physiology, and infection-related inflammation.
Publication output has been modest and somewhat uneven over the last decade, with a peak of three papers per year in 2017-2018 and generally one to two papers per year since then.
