Hasan Tekedar

Hasan Tekedar is a Research Professor at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Mississippi State University. His research focuses on genomic mechanisms of bacterial pathogens affecting aquatic animals, with emphasis on antimicrobial resistance, virulence factors, and host-pathogen interactions in aquaculture systems.

Education:

• Ph.D. Veterinary Medical Science, Mississippi State University (2017)
• M.S. Veterinary Medical Science, Mississippi State University (2014)
• M.S. Biotechnology (2009)
• B.S. Biological Sciences (2005)

Research Interests: Dr. Tekedar specializes in infectious disease genomics, particularly bacterial pathogenesis in fish. His work integrates computational biology with molecular analyses to study pathogens like Aeromonas, Edwardsiella, and Flavobacterium, addressing challenges in aquatic animal health and aquaculture sustainability.

Research Publications: His recent articles (2017-2024) predominantly analyze bacterial genomes from aquaculture pathogens, revealing virulence mechanisms, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and evolutionary adaptations. Key themes include comparative genomics of fish pathogens, stress response systems, and molecular determinants of biofilm formation.
