Research summary
AI-generated

Mohini Bhattacharya studies how the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus causes infections in skin, chronic wounds, and prosthetic joints, with a focus on biofilms (protective communities of bacteria) and how they evade the immune system. Recent work examines host factors like skin hormones, extracellular matrix proteins, and immune cells (neutrophils) that influence whether these infections take hold or are cleared. This research could interest students in microbiology, immunology, or infectious disease who want to study bacterial pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions using both lab and computational approaches.
