Teresa Gil Gil

I am a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Biology at Emory University working with Bruce Levin and colleagues (EcLF). My research focuses on the pharmacodynamics of antibiotics and Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli; the joint action of these drugs, bacteriophages and the innate immune system using Galleria mellonella; and the evolutionary dynamics of antibiotic resistance using G. mellonella. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Microbiology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and I performed the last year of this Degree at San Diego State University (SDSU) and the University of Helsinki.  I then received my Master’s Degree in Genetics and Molecular Biology and my PhD in Molecular Biosciences at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) on the Interconnection between metabolism and fosfomycin resistance of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
