Rochelle Da Costa

Rochelle Da Costa is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB), University of Queensland. Her research focuses on bacterial pathogenesis, specifically investigating mechanisms underlying Salmonella virulence and survival strategies. She explores genetic and molecular factors that enable bacterial adaptation to host environments and environmental stresses.

Her work includes studies on genome-wide fitness analysis of Salmonella mutants, iron metabolism's role in pathogenesis, and protein interactions influencing bile resistance. These studies contribute to understanding infectious disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
