For infectious disease researcher María Soledad Ramírez, her ultimate goal is to contribute to the fight against drug resistance.
A native of Buenos Aires with experience in molecular microbiology and clinical research, Ramírez came to Cal State Fullerton in fall 2014. Since, she has established an active and groundbreaking antibiotic-resistance research program that involves undergraduate and graduate students at every step.
With antibiotic-resistant bacteria causing millions of infections and thousands of deaths each year, her work focuses on one bacterium of particular concern: Acinetobacter baumannii. It is one of the most powerful and deadly bacterial pathogens and hard to eradicate in people with weakened immune systems and in hospital settings.
