Teresa Thurston is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at Imperial College London's Department of Infectious Disease. Her research focuses on unraveling the complex interactions between host and intracellular bacteria, particularly through the lens of innate immune mechanisms. Teresa’s academic journey began with a PhD completed in 2010 under the supervision of Dr. Felix Randow at the University of Cambridge. Following her doctoral studies, she undertook postdoctoral research at the CMBI under Prof. David Holden, concentrating on Salmonella as a model for intracellular pathogens. In 2012, she was awarded the Early Career Research Fellowship from the Leverhulme Trust and an Imperial College Research Fellowship in 2014. Teresa's work has earned her the BBSRC David Phillips Fellowship, allowing her to explore host-pathogen interactions extensively. Her multidisciplinary approach integrates proteomics, genetic screens, cell biology, and structural biology to identify key determinants affecting bacterial infections. Her lab’s innovative research is crucial in advancing the understanding of pathophysiology in bacterial infections and proposes novel therapeutic strategies.
