Kristin M. Burkholder

Kristin M. Burkholder is a Professor and Assistant Academic Director at the University of New England. Her research focuses on the biology of bacterial pathogens and the microbiological safety of marine products. She leads the Burkholder Lab, which employs microbiology, cell and molecular biology, and microscopy techniques to study pathogen-environment-host interactions. The lab collaborates with marine science colleagues to address food safety concerns in marine ecosystems.

Dr. Burkholder's work integrates interdisciplinary approaches, bridging microbiology and marine science. Her contributions include advancing understanding of pathogen behavior and improving food safety protocols for marine-derived products. The Burkholder Lab website provides further details on ongoing projects and methodologies.
