Brandy Hackert joined the Oglesby lab in the summer of 2019. In her previous research, Brandy studied the effect of oxidative damage on DNA during replication in Escherichia coli. Currently, Brandy is characterizing the Pseudomonas aeruginosa protein BrnD, a putative bacterioferritin that is induced by iron in a PrrF-dependent manner. Brandy’s goal is to determine the role that BrnD plays in P. aeruginosa iron homeostasis and oxidative stress.
