معرفی
Eveline Snelders is a researcher at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France, specializing in Molecular Mycology. She is part of the research units focused on infectious diseases, particularly fungal pathogens and antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, working alongside prominent scientists including Olivier Lortholary and Dea Garcia-Hermoso.
Dr. Snelders' research primarily focuses on mycology, antifungal resistance mechanisms, microbiology, infectious diseases, genomics, and bacterial resistance. Her work has significantly advanced understanding of azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus, a major fungal pathogen causing life-threatening infections in immunocompromised patients. She has also conducted important research on antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens, particularly extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli. Her methodological approach combines molecular biology, whole genome sequencing, clinical microbiology, and epidemiological analysis to investigate resistance development and transmission pathways.
Analysis of her publication record from 2012-2015 reveals a consistent research trajectory centered on antimicrobial resistance mechanisms across both fungal and bacterial pathogens. Her work demonstrates a progression from basic molecular mechanisms (such as the discovery of the HapE mutation causing azole resistance) to clinical and epidemiological applications (including hospital outbreak investigations and seasonal patterns of respiratory infections). The interdisciplinary nature of her research is evident in collaborations spanning mycology, pulmonology, obstetrics, and public health domains.
Dr. Snelders maintains extensive collaborative relationships with researchers at the Pasteur Institute and with international colleagues across Europe. Her work has been published in reputable scientific journals including PLoS ONE, Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Fungal Genetics and Biology, and Clinical Microbiology and Infection, reflecting the significance and impact of her contributions to understanding antimicrobial resistance.
