Rachael Fieweger serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Microbiology within Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS), actively contributing to academic instruction and research. She is also engaged with the Cornell Prison Education Program, expanding access to higher education for incarcerated populations across Upstate New York.
Her academic credentials include:
- Associate of Arts and Science (2014)
- Bachelor of Science in Genetics, University of Wisconsin–Madison (2016)
- Ph.D. in Microbiology, Cornell University (2023)
Dr. Fieweger's research centers on Mycobacterium tuberculosis lipid assimilation pathways and their critical role in bacterial virulence during host infection. Her work bridges microbiology, infectious disease mechanisms, and tuberculosis pathogenesis, with implications for novel therapeutic development. This specialization positions her at the intersection of bacterial metabolism and host-pathogen interactions, addressing a major global health challenge through molecular-level investigation of pathogen survival strategies.
