Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Marissa S. Fullerton investigates host-pathogen interactions, with a focus on the bacterium *Coxiella burnetii*, the causative agent of Q fever. Her research explores how host cells, such as THP-1 cells, respond to infection and examines potential therapeutic strategies. Recent work has investigated the repurposing of neurotransmitter system-targeting drugs for their anti-growth properties against *Coxiella burnetii* in human cells. Fullerton also studies the role of microRNAs in the host's immune response to *Coxiella burnetii*. Her publication record includes work on the genetic manipulation of other bacterial species, such as *Borrelia duttonii*, and the development of new antibacterial derivatives through chemical synthesis. She has published 8 papers, with a total of 69 citations, and holds an h-index of 4. Fullerton has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Daniel E. Voth and Katelynn R. Brann.
