Dr. Christopher L. Harding, PhD

Postdoctoral scientist in microbiology and immunology with excitement for studying bacterial pathogenesis and microbial interactions with host innate immunity

About

I am an enthusiastic microbiologist with expertise in infectious diseases and strong backgrounds in mycobacteria biology, drug discovery, and innate immunology of bacterial infections. Currently, I am seeking a position where I can apply my expertise in molecular biology, bacterial genetics, innate immunobiology, and animal models of infectious diseases to contribute to advancements for human health. Looking to re-locate to Atlanta, GA
