OverviewAI-generated summary

Katelynn R. Brann's research focuses on host-pathogen interactions, particularly concerning the bacterium *Coxiella burnetii*, the causative agent of Q fever. Her work investigates how this pathogen influences host cellular processes and explores potential therapeutic interventions. She has examined the role of neurotransmitter system-targeting drugs in inhibiting *Coxiella burnetii* growth in human cells and has explored the contribution of microRNAs to the host's immune response to infection. Brann has also studied the modulation of cellular NF-κB inhibitor p105 by *Orientia tsutsugamushi*. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 5, with 7 total publications and 89 total citations. She has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Daniel E. Voth, Marissa S. Fullerton, Richard C. Kurten, and Punsiri M. Colonne.
