Govind Rajagopalan

Govind Rajagopalan is Associate Research Scientist at Yale School of Medicine's Pulmonary Division, investigating host-pathogen interactions in respiratory diseases. Research examines Staphylococcus aureus superantigens in cystic fibrosis, hyperoxia-induced lung injury mechanisms, and emergency phage therapy development for antibiotic-resistant infections.

Studies characterize immune responses to bacterial toxins and evaluate therapeutic strategies targeting EGFR pathways and phage applications. Collaborative work includes Yale's optimized phage preparation pipeline for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.
