Lisa Meekes

Lisa Meekes is a Researcher at Erasmus MC in the Department of Medical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases. Her work focuses on molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and diagnostic assay development.

Research Interests:

• Antibiotic resistance genetics (e.g., bla OXA-48, bla GES)
• Proteogenomic approaches to bacterial pathogenesis
• Real-time PCR methodology for rapid pathogen identification
• Global health challenges in infectious disease management

Research Trends: Recent publications highlight her expertise in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, combining genomic and proteomic analyses to understand resistance mechanisms. She also contributes to global health literature regarding malaria treatment disparities.

Collaborations: Works with multidisciplinary teams across Erasmus MC, including specialists in bioinformatics, clinical microbiology, and tropical medicine.
