Research
The laboratory of Vishnu Chaturvedi, Ph.D., focuses on applying whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to study the emergence and spread of bacterial and fungal pathogens, developing and validating WGS methods to enhance understanding of infectious disease dynamics and advance diagnostic tests for pathogenic fungi, with a particular commitment to integrating new technologies into clinical microbiology. In antifungal drug research, Dr. Chaturvedi and researchers in his lab have pioneered rapid, sensitive susceptibility testing methods with support from pharmaceutical companies and have led efforts to standardize these methods across multiple laboratories. Their work in molecular epidemiology has significantly contributed to understanding fungal and bacterial pathogens in the U.S., including rapid outbreak investigations, characterization of unknown pathogens, and defining pathogen virulence, bridging the gap between basic and translational science.
