Research summary

Rishi Drolia's research focuses on foodborne bacterial pathogens like Listeria and Salmonella, examining how these microbes cause infection, how they can be detected, and how they can be controlled or eliminated in food and host systems. Recent work highlights host-pathogen interactions, particularly how bacteria exploit cellular uptake mechanisms (caveolin-mediated endocytosis) to invade host cells. This work sits at the intersection of food safety, microbiology, and molecular biology.
