About Leah

Hi! My name is Leah and I am a member of Team Enteric focusing on E. coli infections. I am a biochemistry major, but I am very interested in the microbial world and how it affects us. In the future, I would love to continue research in drug discovery, possibly even with bacteriocins. My favorite bacteria is Vibrio fischeri because it is bioluminescent. It is found in symbiosis with the Hawaiian bobtail squid and allows it to camouflage from predators at night by blending in with the moonlight.
