Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jordan T. Bird's research investigates host-pathogen interactions, focusing on the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying infectious diseases. Recent work includes an in vivo transcriptional analysis of mice infected with *Leishmania major*, employing single-cell resolution to reveal cellular heterogeneity and altered transcriptomic profiles. Bird has also explored differences in cell death pathways related to nutrient depletion in cancer cells, specifically examining methionine dependence in melanoma. Further research interests encompass the development and application of computational tools for biological data analysis, such as the proteoDA package for quantitative proteomics. Bird's scholarly output is reflected in an h-index of 19 with over 1,930 citations across 56 publications. Key collaborators at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences include Stephanie D. Byrum, Tiffany Weinkopff, Hayden Roys, and Anne K. Bowlin, with whom Bird has co-authored multiple publications.
