Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Elysia A. Masters investigates host-pathogen interactions, with a particular focus on *Staphylococcus aureus* and its role in osteomyelitis and skeletal infections. Her research explores the mechanisms by which *S. aureus* invades bone and how the host immune system responds to these infections. Masters has examined the role of specific bacterial components, such as penicillin-binding protein 4 (PBP4), in modulating bacterial invasion and pathogenesis. She has also investigated novel therapeutic strategies, including the development of bisphosphonate-conjugated antibiotics designed to enhance local drug delivery and overcome limitations in treating implant-associated osteomyelitis in murine models.

Her work also touches upon the broader aspects of bacterial infections and host immunity, including the diverse effects of cytokines like Interleukin-27. Masters has contributed to consensus meetings on musculoskeletal infections, focusing on host immunity. Her scholarship includes 24 publications, with an h-index of 16 and over 1,900 citations. She has collaborated with several researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research.
