Shawn Zimmerman, DVM, PhD, DACVP,
Postdoctoral Fellowship
Assistant Professor
Pathobiology and Diagnostic Investigation
zimme374@msu.edu
The Zimmerman laboratory endeavors to explore novel host-pathogen interactions with the ultimate goal of exploiting those interactions to identify new biomarkers, develop medical countermeasures, and establish improved animal models of infection. Her team focuses on studying bacterial pathogens with zoonotic potential or that are of high concern for antimicrobial resistance, and present studies are exploring Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli [ETEC] and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species.
