About the Author
Stefan U. Pukatzki is the Sharon D. Cosloy Professor of Biology at The City College of New York. He did his Postdoctoral studies at Harvard University in the laboratory of Dr. John Mekalanos where he co-discovered the Type VI secretion system in bacteria using Vibrio cholerae as a model system. His laboratory explores why a minority of bacteria evolved mechanisms to harm the human host. This behavior is not common, because symbiotic strategies to co-exist with the host are abundantly available. His research on host-pathogen interactions allows us to observe an “arms race” of attack over evolutionary time, which generates concepts and approaches that can be applied to develop alternative therapies to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
