Nicole Hansmeier

Dr. Nicole Hansmeier is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Regina's Faculty of Science. Her research integrates systems biology, proteomics, and computational approaches to study host-pathogen interactions, with a focus on Salmonella pathogenesis and public health applications. Her group develops biomarkers for disease signatures and investigates bacterial adaptation mechanisms under diverse environmental conditions, including spaceflight.

Her publications emphasize quantitative proteomics, cellular microbiology, and machine learning applications in epidemiology. Recent work explores host invasion dynamics, membrane proteomics in macrophages, and COVID-19 forecasting models. Key themes include metabolic adaptation of pathogens, oxidative stress responses, and innovative proteomic methodologies.

Dr. Hansmeier actively contributes to scholarly communities through peer review and mentors students in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of biology and data science.
