OverviewAI-generated summary
Mei G. Lei's research focuses on understanding microbial infections and host-pathogen interactions, with a particular emphasis on *Staphylococcus aureus*. Her work investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying bacterial virulence and the development of strategies to combat infections. Recent publications include research on the regulation of *Staphylococcus aureus* capsule by the SarZ protein and the characterization of the Ssc surface polysaccharide, which is involved in bacterial colonization and infection.
In addition to her work on bacterial pathogens, Lei also investigates therapeutic approaches for peripheral ischemia. She has published studies on the use of syndecan-4 proteoliposomes and transmembrane stem factor nanodiscs to enhance revascularization in rabbit models of hind limb ischemia, particularly in diabetic and hyperlipidemic subjects. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 24, with 61 total publications and 1,879 total citations. Lei has collaborated with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Chia Y. Lee, Ravi Kr. Gupta, Matthew A. Jorgenson, and Emily J. Robbs.
