Host Defense and Microbial Biology Rising Star Seminar

The seminar will feature Dr. Joseph P. Zackular, associate professor, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania; and co-director, Center for Microbial Medicine, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. This seminar is in-person only for those located in Columbus (virtual option for Wooster campus registrants). Lunch will be provided.

Dr. Zackular's research focuses on understanding how interactions among the host, gut microbiota, and pathogens impact human health and disease. Recent work in his lab has focused on elucidating cooperative interactions between C. difficile and other pathogens, such as enterococci.
