Summary
- I am a physician-scientist at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital. Clinically, I am board certified in Pediatrics and Pediatric Infectious Diseases. The long-term goal of my research at Baylor College of Medicine is to identify bacterial strains and compounds that will lead to new ways to prevent and treat infections caused by the common nasal pathobionts Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae and to mitigate the severity of viral respiratory tract infections. To accomplish this, the KLemon Lab identifies factors that mediate microbe-microbe and microbe-epithelial interactions in human nasal microbiota using human nasal epithelial organoids and human nasal bacterial strains.
