Hey Science Nerds! This week's episode is with Dr. Coombes, the Chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences. Dr. Coombes has an extensive background in bacterial pathogenesis, antibiotic resistance, and the role of enteric bacteria in inflammatory bowel diseases. Dr. Coombes has also developed an active research program in infectious diseases at the Coombes Lab that focuses on the exploration of risk factors that contribute to the development of Crohn's Disease. Tune in to learn more about the virulent behaviour of pathogens, the leading microbiological research in Crohn's Disease, and the role of undergrads in his lab.
