Margarethe Joanna Kuehn is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and the Department of Cell Biology at Duke University. Her research focuses on the pathogenic mechanisms of Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, specifically their production of outer membrane vesicles and their interaction with host tissues. Her lab investigates the genetic and biochemical characteristics of vesicle production and the role of these vesicles in virulence factor delivery. Kuehn has received multiple grants, including ones from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, to study these mechanisms in depth. Throughout her career, she has contributed significantly to understanding membrane dynamics in gram-negative bacteria, which may lead to identifying new therapeutic targets for human pathogens. She has held various academic positions prior to her current role and is also a member of the Duke Cancer Institute, demonstrating her commitment to research and education in the field of biochemistry and microbiology.
