Stanley N. Cohen, MD

Kwoh-Ting Li Professor in the School of Medicine, Professor of Genetics and of Medicine
Research Interests
We study mechanisms that affect the expression and decay of normal and abnormal mRNAs, and also RNA-related mechanisms that regulate microbial antibiotic resistance. A small bioinformatics team within our lab has developed knowledge based systems to aid in investigations of genes.

Denise M. Monack

Martha Meier Weiland Professor in the School of Medicine
Research Interests
The primary focus of my research is to understand the genetic and molecular mechanisms of intracellular bacterial pathogenesis. We use several model systems to study complex host-pathogen interactions in the gut and in immune cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells. Ultimately we would like to understand how Salmonella persists within certain hosts for years in the face of a robust immune response.
