Michael Lauer

Michael is a Research Project Coordinator responsible for receiving non-tuberculosis mycobacterium (NTM) clinical isolates, screening the lab’s phage collection on isolates for susceptibility, and performing downstream assays to determine the degree of bacterial killing by phage candidates. Additionally, he also isolates host-range mutants of clinical phages to expand their host range and monitors patient serum for neutralizing responses to phage during treatment.

He earned his B.S. in Neuroscience from the University of Pittsburgh in 2021.
