Rajeev Misra

Rajeev Misra is a Professor at Arizona State University's School of Life Sciences, affiliated with the Biodesign Center for Fundamental & Applied Microbiomics. His research focuses on bacterial outer membrane protein assembly and drug resistance mechanisms, particularly in Escherichia coli.

Education: PhD in Microbiology from Adelaide University, Australia.

Research Interests: Microbial genetics, membrane biology, antibiotic resistance, and β-barrel protein assembly. His work investigates protein targeting to bacterial outer membranes, drug efflux systems, and envelope stress responses.

Grants & Funding: Multiple NIH grants supporting studies on outer membrane protein biogenesis and antibiotic resistance. Recent projects include NIH grants on envelope stress and efflux pump mechanisms.

Labs/Teams: Leads research in the Biodesign Center, focusing on microbiology and molecular biology. Collaborates on projects involving drug resistance and bacterial pathogenesis.
