Biography

Julia Sanchez Garrido is a Research Associate at Imperial College London's Department of Life Sciences. Her work focuses primarily on the Centre for Bacterial Resistance Biology and includes studies on host-pathogen interactions at mucosal surfaces, specifically within the intestine and lungs. Her research utilizes a gut model with Citrobacter rodentium, a natural mouse pathogen, to explore mechanisms of infection and mucosal immunity. She has also researched Klebsiella pneumoniae, a prominent cause of hospital-acquired infections linked to rising antimicrobial resistance. With a PhD focused on inflammasomes and nutrient signaling, her background encompasses both tissue culture techniques and in vivo models. Julia is actively involved in scientific outreach, serving as a coordinator for community engagement activities and holding roles in various postdoc associations and committees dedicated to fostering communication among early-career researchers. She is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and participates in peer review for the Faculty of Natural Sciences.
