M. Solan Siegrist

M. Solan Siegrist serves as Associate Professor and Associate Department Head for Research in the Department of Microbiology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, based in the Life Sciences Laboratories in Amherst, Massachusetts.

His educational background includes:

• Ph.D. from Harvard School of Public Health

Dr. Siegrist's research centers on bacterial cell wall dynamics in intracellular pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Listeria monocytogenes, investigating how these organisms adapt their cell walls to host environments and engineering wall structures for biomedical applications. His interdisciplinary approach integrates chemical biology, genetics, biochemistry, and biophysics to develop novel tools for studying cell wall synthesis and remodeling under physiologically relevant conditions.
