Punsiri M. Colonne

OverviewAI-generated summary

Punsiri M. Colonne investigates the interactions between host cells and pathogenic bacteria, with a particular focus on the Q fever agent, Coxiella burnetii. Her research has explored how neurotransmitter system-targeting drugs can inhibit the growth of this bacterium within human cells. Colonne also studies the role of small interfering RNA (siRNA) in gene knockdown techniques to investigate cellular processes related to host-pathogen interactions. Her work has involved coculture techniques and the study of bacterial biofilms, including their formation and potential therapeutic targets. Colonne has authored 10 publications with 821 citations and an h-index of 8. She has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Daniel E. Voth, Marissa S. Fullerton, Richard C. Kurten, and Katelynn R. Brann.
