Biography

Lana Jachmann is a PhD student in the Barbara Sixt group at the Department of Molecular Biology and MIMS. Her research focuses on determining the role of inclusions in counteracting host cellular defense responses that regulate Chlamydia development. Specifically, she investigates the mechanisms by which Chlamydia inclusions evade cell-autonomous immunity through the application of molecular biology and microscopic techniques, aiming to expand the experimental toolkit for studying Chlamydia. Jachmann has contributed to several publications on the interactions between bacteria and host immune responses, including the maturation of human dendritic cells and the production of IL-1β during pneumococcal infections.
