Goldwater Scholar infects culture cells to look at the severity of staph infections on different strains
Emily Marino would tell you that growing up she was a germaphobe and always interested in the microbiology of germs; how they worked, the different types of bacteria, and how it affected a person’s body. Today, she’s taken that interest into her studies and career, researching
Staphylococcus aureus, or the bacterial pathogen that causes staph infections in order to help solve bigger problems on a micro scale.
Not only has her long interest in microbiology allowed her to work hands-on researching it, but she was recently named a Goldwater Scholar.
