John Phoenix

I am an undergraduate second-year student and researcher at Southern Illinois University actively involved in microbiology research in Dr. Scott Hamilton-Brehm's Laboratory. I earned my Associate of Science (AS) degree from Rock Valley College in Rockford, IL before coming to SIU to pursue a bachelor's degree in Microbiology with a minor in chemistry. My research interests include host-microbe interaction and human bacterial pathogenesis that I hope to expand on into graduate school and carry with into my career. An undergraduate research project would provide me the unique opportunity to get valuable research experience early on and help me develop into a better scientist.
