Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sharmily Khanam's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of bacterial virulence and host-pathogen interactions, with a particular emphasis on the role of calcium in regulating bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents. Her work investigates how specific bacterial proteins, such as CarP and PcrP, respond to host signals and influence the pathogenesis of organisms like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Khanam also explores host defense mechanisms, including the epigenetic regulation of host defense peptide synthesis. Her publications have examined gene expression, protein function, and cellular responses in the context of microbial infections. Khanam's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 5 and 157 total citations across 9 publications.
