Jeanne Salje is a researcher in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge, focusing on the fundamental biology of obligate intracellular bacteria and their interactions with eukaryotic host cells. Her research aims to gain insights into the biology of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, particularly in relation to clinically significant bacteria like Orientia tsutsugamushi, the causative agent of scrub typhus, a serious disease endemic in parts of Asia. Salje’s studies encompass a range of topics including genomics, bacterial physiology, and the mechanisms of infection cycles. Her long-standing work in Southeast Asia aims to apply newfound scientific insights to the development of improved diagnostics and treatments for scrub typhus. Salje has published key research findings in prominent journals such as Nature Communications and mBio, contributing significantly to our understanding of these pathogens and their evolution.
