Physiological changes in Mtb following kinase disruption in Mtb and implications for drug response.
Erick Tieu, Graduate Student, Ma Lab, SCRI
Erick is a fifth-year graduate student in the Ma lab at CGIDR at SCRI. His research focuses on examining how mycobacterial protein kinases modulate Mtb physiology and drug response. In addition to his research, Erick participates in the Seattle aquarist community and loves to talk about how to design and maintain healthy ecosystems in aquariums. Additionally, he is currently looking for research positions (post doc and research scientist) near Ithaca, NY.
