Guixin He

Gui-Xin (Susan) He, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor at the Zuckerberg College of Health Sciences, University of Massachusetts Lowell. She specializes in Molecular Microbiology, focusing on antibiotic resistance mechanisms and bacterial transporters in pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter cloacae. Her research emphasizes biofilm development, resistance gene analysis in enteric bacteria, and biosensor development for drug resistance and pathogens.

Education: Ph.D. in Microbiology (2004) from Okayama University, Japan; M.S. in Biochemistry (2001) and B.S. in Bioenergy (1994) from Shenyang Agricultural University, China. Awards include the NIH Postdoctoral Fellowship and the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Outstanding Service Award. Her work integrates molecular genetics, microbiology, and environmental toxicology to combat multidrug resistance.

Key publications explore efflux pump inhibition, Vibrio cholerae genomics, and antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. Her research bridges basic science with clinical applications, addressing global health challenges like cholera and foodborne pathogens. Grants include NIH-funded studies on antimicrobial resistance mechanisms.
