About Penny
My name is Penny Reynolds, and I am a Microbiology major. I am a part of Team Ulcer, working on novel treatments for H. pylori infections. I chose to play a part in this area of research due largely to the impact of antibiotic resistance within developing nations, and would like to contribute to solving this international challenge. Aside from this, my favorite bacteria is Deinococcus radiodurans. I think it’s ability to withstand immense radiation is very interesting, and would like to participate within further research of this microbe regarding DNA repair mechanisms in the future.
