Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sharmily Khanam's research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying bacterial pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions, particularly concerning *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*. Her work investigates how calcium ions influence bacterial virulence and resistance to antimicrobial agents like polymyxin B. Khanam has also explored epigenetic regulation of host defense peptide synthesis, examining the synergistic effects of various inhibitors on gene expression. Her publications include studies on the pathogenesis of HCoV-NL63 in human epithelial cells, assessing cell viability, virus replication, and cytokine production. She has also investigated novel functions of bacterial proteins, such as PcrP, in conferring resistance to antibiotics. Khanam's research network includes collaborators Marli S.P. Azevedo, Lisa Mullis, and Seong-Won Nho, all affiliated with the National Center for Toxicological Research. Her scholarship includes 9 publications with an h-index of 5 and 165 citations.
