Description

We are interested in mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis with Yersinia pestis, Francisella tularensis, Bacillus anthracis, and the pathogenic Burkholderia spp (B. pseudomallei and B. mallei). The overall goal is to identify bacterial targets that these bacteria possess to identify novel vaccines or therapeutics.

Grantor Contact InformationJoel A Bozue, Phone: 301.619.4934Grantor Emailjoel.a.bozue.civ@health.milOther Grantor InformaitonThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
