Runa Wolden

Runa Wolden is a researcher specializing in microbiology and infectious diseases, focusing on the pathogenic mechanisms of Staphylococcus species. Her work addresses critical challenges in antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation.

• Doctoral thesis (2024) explored adhesion mechanisms and bacteriocins in Staphylococcus haemolyticus as novel therapeutic targets.
• Master's thesis (2018) developed innovative methods for identifying surface proteins during bacterial colonization of human keratinocytes.

Her research spans bacterial virulence factors, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and bacteriocin discovery.

Recent publications examine Staphylococcus borealis taxonomy (2020), surface protein analysis techniques (2020), and romsacin's efficacy against WHO priority pathogens (2023). Key trends include biofilm inhibition, bacterial adaptation to human hosts, and novel antimicrobial peptide development.
