The Jennings Lab
Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections
are a global public health threat.
Our research aims to change that.
The Jennings Lab studies bacterial factors that impact infection outcomes. Our research has two primary focus areas: 1) The influence of biofilm polysaccharides on host-pathogen interactions and vaccine escape, and 2) Epigenetics and programmed heterogeneity in drug-resistant bacteria. Our goal is to leverage insights from these areas to develop innovative approaches to combat bacterial infections.
Laura K. Jennings, PhD (she/her) is an Assistant Professor
in the Dept. of Microbiology & Cell Biology at Montana State University
and a Faculty Affiliate of the Center for Biofilm Engineering.
