Michelle Snyder is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Towson University. Her research uses Dictyostelium discoideum to study innate immune mechanisms, focusing on pathogen recognition, bacterial evasion, and autophagy in infection responses. She employs genomic and transcriptomic analyses to identify novel virulence factors.

Research areas:

• Pattern recognition in immune cells
• Bacterial resistance to predation
• Translational implications for antibacterial therapies
