Bio/Research

Dr. Geddes-McAlister's research program focuses on understanding the interactions between a host (ex., human, animal, plant) and a pathogen (ex., bacteria, fungi) during disease.

She uses quantitative proteomics to profile changes in protein production to define how the host changes in response to the pathogen and how the pathogen evades the host defence mechanisms.

Some of the bacteria she has studied include Salmonella, Klebsiella and pseudomonas. She has also conducted similar research on the fungi cryptococcus and fusarium.
