Research Interest:
Our goal is to understand how different components of a virus population affect the infected organism and how this interaction influences the virus evolution and its maintenance in nature.
L. David Sibley, PhD
Alan A. & Edith L. Wolff Distinguished Professor of Molecular Microbiology
- Phone: 314-362-8873
- Email: sibley@wustl.edu
Research Interest:
We are using comparative genomics and genetics to define virulence determinants in the model intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii. and to examine the cellular and molecular basis of motility and host cell invasion.

Meng Wu, PhD
Assistant Professor of Molecular Microbiology
- Phone: 3142738209
- Email: mengwu@wustl.edu
Research Interest:
We investigate the interplay among the microbiota, stromal cells, and the immune system through the integration of microbiology and immunology with systems biology.
Ting Zhang, PhD
Assistant Professor of Molecular Microbiology
- Email: zting@wustl.edu
Research Interests:
The Zhang lab is interested in understanding the function of infection-stimulated bile metabolites. We also investigate the genetic requirements for Listeria monocytogenes survival and persistence during systemic infection.
