Sean Crosson is the Rudolph Hugh Endowed Professor in the Department of Microbiology, Genetics, and Immunology at Michigan State University. His research focuses on studying bacterial biology in various environments, including freshwater, soil, and mammalian cells. The Crosson lab employs a cross-disciplinary approach to understand how bacterial cells adapt their physiology to survive in fluctuating physical and chemical landscapes. Key areas of research include the Alphaproteobacteria, particularly the mammalian pathogen Brucella, the freshwater/soil bacterium Caulobacter crescentus, and the marine photoheterotroph Erythrobacter litoralis. Additionally, the lab collaborates with clinicians and ecologists to investigate the contributions of microbes, such as Bacteroides fragilis, to inflammatory bowel diseases. Students and postdoctoral researchers in the lab engage in a diverse range of projects, contributing to the understanding of infectious diseases and microbial ecology.
