The lab is open for business! Aria has arrived at UF and it working diligently to: 1) procure the required equipment for molecular biology, biochemistry and cell biology operations, 2) obtain regulatory approval to work with BSL2+ pathogens, and 3) assemble an enthusiastic team to drive the projects forward.

Aria has accepted a faculty position in the Department of Infectious Diseases and Immunology at University of Florida. With an ideal set of collaborators and resources, the department and it's associated institutes are a perfect fit for the Eshraghi Lab's vision to characterize fundamental cell biology mechanisms that support bacterial pathogenesis. Initial experiments will focus on how secreted bacterial effector proteins promote pathogenesis.
