- Quantified Campylobacter spp. on raw chicken meat bought from local grocery stores using enrichment, viability qPCR, and direct plating. - Conducted phenotypic characterization of potentially new Bacillus cereus group species by growth assays including growth at different pH in pH-adjusted TSB, growth at different temperatures on BHI agar, and growth at different NaCl concentrations in TSB. - Worked with Bacillus cereus and its endospore survivability and germinability in the human gastrointestinal tract. This includes studying the effects of spore germination triggers on the germination of Bacillus cereus spores.
