Dr. Jeanne Salje's research focuses on obligate intracellular bacteria and their interactions with eukaryotic host cells. Her work aims to gain fundamental insights into the biology of prokaryotic cells, particularly focusing on those that are clinically important agents of numerous human and animal diseases. Her laboratory specifically studies Orientia tsutsugamushi, the causative agent of scrub typhus, a life-threatening disease endemic in parts of Asia. Research efforts encompass the genomics, bacterial physiology, and mechanisms of pathogenesis involved in the infection cycle. To promote better diagnostics and treatments for scrub typhus, Dr. Salje leverages her long-standing work in Southeast Asia, engaging with local needs and scientific insights to develop effective strategies against this disease.
