Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Wanfeng Guo's research focuses on bacterial pathogenesis and genetic manipulation of microbial pathogens. Guo has investigated the role of the Yersinia pestis BipA protein in regulating pesticin and type 6 secretion systems, as well as the regulation of Yersinia pestis plasminogen activator protease by the PhoP/PhoQ two-component system. Additionally, Guo has contributed to the development and validation of systems for genetic manipulation of Borrelia duttonii, a relapsing fever spirochete. These studies have involved collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Jon S. Blevins, Madeleine G. Scott, Kenneth T. Appell, and Daniel E. Voth.
