معرفی
Sarah Doore is an Assistant Professor in the Microbiology & Cell Science Department at the University of Florida. Her research focuses on bacteriophage biology, microbial genetics, and structural virology, particularly exploring Shigella phages and their interactions with host bacteria. She investigates phage infection dynamics, host range expansion, and evolutionary adaptations. Her work bridges fundamental science with educational outreach, including phage discovery in K-12 classrooms. Dr. Doore holds a terminal degree in microbiology and maintains an active lab focused on structural analysis, genetic adaptation, and viral ecology.
- Teaching: Microbiology coursework and lab instruction
- Research Themes: Phage evolution, host specificity, structural biology, and bacterial pathogenesis
Her recent publications highlight discoveries in phage structure-function relationships, tail spike proteins, and metabolic rewiring in bacterial strains. She actively contributes to academic publishing reforms through editorial board roles. No scientific awards are explicitly listed, but her prolific publication record reflects scholarly impact. Advising and grant activities are not detailed in the provided materials.
Labs/Teams: Active phage research lab with focus on Shigella phages and microvirus systems.
