Bio/Research
Professor Shuman joined the University of Chicago, Department of Microbiology in July 2010. His lab continues to focus on the cell biology, genomics and genetics of Legionella’s interactions with human and protist hosts. His lab also studies resistance to environmental stresses in Coxiella burnetii. This organism is related to Legionella and causes a flu-like illness called Q-fever. Coxiella is remarkable for its resistance to desiccation. The lab also studies resistance to antibiotics and virulence in the opportunistic human pathogen, Acinetobacter baumannii.
