Marina Haldopoulos
About Marina
I grew up in Georgia and later moved to the University of St Andrews where I earned my BS in Biology and dabbled in transcontinental hitchhiking. I first worked as a technician in the Weiss lab at Emory University before beginning my PhD at Georgia Tech in 2022. Outside of work I like collecting native plants and studying νέα ελληνικά (modern Greek!).

Research Interests
I am interested in the ecological and evolutionary forces that govern biogeography of bacteria in their human hosts. My doctoral research investigates how bacterial interactions impact spatial structure in infection environments. I aim to investigate how bacterial interactions and spatial structure impact pathogenesis, particularly in polymicrobial infections of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. I am using classical microbiological, genetic, and biochemical techniques, animal infection models, -omics, and advanced microscopy to answer these exciting questions.
