Our environment
We are located in the beautiful University of Wisconsin-Madison campus at the School of Veterinary Medicine. Madison is a great place to live, with eclectic restaurants, farmers markets, outdoor activities, bicycle paths, a lively music scene, and delicious cheese and ice cream. Our lab is part of the Department of Pathobiological Sciences, located by the lake and near the Departments of Bacteriology, Biochemistry and Medical Microbiology and Immunology.
Our lab is passionate about science and infectious diseases. We combine microbiology, cell biology and molecular approaches to study how our favorite bacterial pathogens cause disease in humans and animals.
We cultivate a supportive, inclusive, collaborative environment for everyone to thrive. Our team is committed to welcoming people regardless of physical ability, neurodiversity, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, country of origin, spiritual beliefs, sex, age, sexual orientation, and gender identity. And if you are new to research but keen on learning and interested in a career in science, we will teach you!
We are always looking for motivated students and postdocs! If you would like to join our team or have any questions about current projects and job opportunities, please get in touch with:
UW-MADISON LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The University of Wisconsin–Madison occupies ancestral Ho-Chunk land, a place their nation has called Teejop (day-JOPE) since time immemorial. In an 1832 treaty, the Ho-Chunk were forced to cede this territory.
Decades of ethnic cleansing followed when both the federal and state government repeatedly, but unsuccessfully, sought to forcibly remove the Ho-Chunk from Wisconsin.
This history of colonization informs our shared future of collaboration and innovation.
Today, UW–Madison respects the inherent sovereignty of the Ho-Chunk Nation, along with the eleven other First Nations of Wisconsin
